ftplib question

[Olivier Dagenais]

I might be able to help you, as I have recently used it to create the
attached script that helps me to send backups of my work to an FTP server.
Take a look at my code, although it sends a file it should provide you with
an example.  I found the documentation quite adequate for the module.

If you still have some trouble, post the part of code that's causing you
problems, along with a traceback or description of the error.
