Hi Maniganda

you can like below

import some class in your .py file

from ftplib import FTP


objec=FTP("yourIP")
objec.login("youruser","passs")
objec.storbinary('STOR yourfile.txt', open('yourexixtingfile.txt', 'rb'))
objec.close()

After successfull login

use properties of objec object such as upload reload ,read file from etc...... hope this is help you just see the objec FTP's method you can it easily

you can use the built-in ftp library (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12613797/python-script-uploading-files-via-ftplink text) or you can avoid using ftp and trying via xml-rpc that's a more stable solution IMO.

If you need to understand how to deal with xml-rpc, you can look at the official docs here:

https://doc.openerp.com/6.1/developer/12_api/#xml-rpc-web-services.

do not forget that XML-RPC cannot manage binary files as-is, you'll have to read the content and convert it into a base64 string.
