You can use the below function  I haven t tested it yet  but it should work fine  Remember the destination is a directory path where as source is complete file path   import ftplib import os  def uploadFileFTP sourceFilePath  destinationDirectory  server  username  password       myFTP   ftplib FTP server  username  password      if destinationDirectory in  name for name  data in list remote mlsd              print  Destination Directory does not exist  Creating it first          myFTP mkd destinationDirectory        Changing Working Directory     myFTP cwd destinationDirectory      if os path isfile sourceFilePath           fh   open sourceFilePath   rb           myFTP storbinary  STOR  s    f  fh          fh close       else          print  Source File does not exist

ftplib now supports context managers so I guess it can be made even easier  from ftplib import FTP from pathlib import Path  file path   Path  kitten jpg    with FTP  server address com    USER    PWD   as ftp  open file path   rb   as file          ftp storbinary f STOR  file path name    file    No need to close the file or the session

Use ftplib  you can write it like this   import ftplib session   ftplib FTP  server address com   USERNAME   PASSWORD   file   open  kitten jpg   rb                      file to send session storbinary  STOR kitten jpg   file        send the file file close                                        close file and FTP session quit     Use ftplib FTP TLS instead if you FTP host requires TLS     To retrieve it  you can use urllib retrieve   import urllib   urllib urlretrieve  ftp   server path to file    file       EDIT   To find out the current directory  use FTP pwd         FTP pwd     Return the pathname of the current directory on the server    To change the directory  use FTP cwd pathname       FTP cwd pathname    Set the current directory on the server

I just answered a similar question here  IMHO  if your FTP server is able to communicate with Fabric please us Fabric  It is far better than doing raw ftp   I have an FTP account from dotgeek com so I am not sure if this will work for other FTP accounts      usr bin python  from fabric api import run  env  sudo  put  env user    username  env hosts     ftp host name          such as ftp google com  def copy          assuming i have wong 8066 zip in the same directory as this script     put  wong 8066 zip     www public wong 8066 zip     save the file as fabfile py and run fab copy locally   yeukhon yeukhon-P5E-VM-DO    fab copy2  1 ai  Executing task  copy2   1 ai  Login password    1 ai  put  wong 8066 zip - gt   www public wong 8066 zip  Done  Disconnecting from 1 ai    done    Once again  if you don t want to input password all the time  just add  env password    my password

You will most likely want to use the ftplib module for python   import ftplib  ftp   ftplib FTP    host    ftp site uk   port   21  ftp connect host  port   print  ftp getwelcome     try        print   Logging in            ftp login  yourusername    yourpassword    except        failed to login    This logs you into an FTP server  What you do from there is up to you  Your question doesnt indicate any other operations that really need doing
