HI Group,

As I am very new in python field so this question might be very silly to
you but if I get any help is highly appreciated.

Problem:

I wrote a python script which is working fine to upload files to the ftp
server but the problem is it is reducing the actual size after
transferring. I need to upload a GIS Shape file to the ftp server but
want to keep the same size and format. Any idea or help is highly
appreciated.


Thanks

The code is as follows:

===================================
# Import system modules



import os
import sys
import win32com.client
import zipfile
import os.path
import ftplib
from ftplib import FTP


ftp=ftplib.FTP("ftp.sfwmd.gov","","")
ftp.login('sahmed','sa1lf1sh')
#ftp.cwd("/export/pub/sahmed")
ffile = open('c:/test/wuppnt.shp', 'r')

ftp.storbinary("STOR wuppnt.shp", ffile)
ffile.close()

print "OK"
ftp.quit()

Perhaps the problem is that you did not open the file in binary mode here?
