GIS Shape file upload FTP server

HI Group,


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


Problem: 

I wrote a python script which is working fine to upload
files to the ftp
server but the problem it is reducing the actual size of the
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.mysite.*","","&
quot;)  
ftp.login('*****','*****')
#ftp.cwd("/export/pub/****")
ffile = open('c:\test\*.shp', 'r')
ftp.storbinary("stor *.shp", ffile)
ffile.close()
print "OK"
ftp.quit()

On Windows, you have to open binary files in binary mode:

> ffile = open('c:\test\*.shp', 'rb')
                                   ^^
otherwise the file will be truncated at the first ^Z
character.
