It is you who supporting me again :D

I have tried curl, my first test with it failed

aoclife:~/sbin# curl -T filename aoclife.mirror.list \
ftp://user:pass@??/public_html/tmp/filename
curl: (9) Uploaded unaligned file size (0 out of 59 bytes)

So I gave up.

Then I tried python ( very first experience with it ). The code comes as follow:

#ftpu, ftpp, ftph: ftp username, password, hostname
for eachfile in open('/root/filelist.test.txt', 'r'):
   putfile = open("\"" + eachfile.rstrip("\n") + "\"")
   conn = ftplib.FTP(ftph, "","")
   conn.login(user=ftpu, passwd=ftpp)
   conn.cwd('/public_html/tmp')
   conn.storbinary("STOR " + eachfile, eachfile)
   putfile.close()
   conn.close()

here, the file /root/filelist.test.txt' is the output of the find
command, it contains list of files ( with spaces and some special
charaters in file name ), like:

aoclife:~/sbin# head /root/filelist.test.txt
/home/vuhung/public_html/aoc/aoclife.ddo.jp/recs/aoc-recs/L=Lawliet
(2199) vs Andrew_LK (1977)-  25-2-2007 04`35`38.zip
/home/vuhung/public_html/aoc/aoclife.ddo.jp/recs/aoc-recs/IamAbe 4v4 -
28-Feb-2007 20`05`08.zip
/home/vuhung/public_html/aoc/aoclife.ddo.jp/recs/aoc-recs/FletcheR vs
Exrtacy gg.rar

and when i ran the python scripts, it died with errors:

aoclife:~/sbin# ./putftp.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "./putftp.py", line 10, in ?
   putfile = open(eachfile.rstrip("\n"))
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/home/vuhung/public_html/aoc/aoclife.ddo.jp/recs/aoc-recs/L=Lawliet
(2199) vs Andrew_LK (1977)-  25-2-2007 04`35`38.zip'

FYI, I observed '=' and ' ' in the filename

#python 2.4ish
#next time, I will debug my script under a normal user :D
