The problem is the line: self.settings["template"].set(filename)
This line is out of context. You're not within a class with a "member 
variable" called settings. What are you trying to accomplish?

Aren't you looking for somthing like:

...
     filename = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(filetypes=(	 
        			("TIFF", ".tiff"), ("JPG", ".jpg"), 
                       			("GIF", ".gif")))
     try:
          sendfile(filename)
     except:
          tkMessageBox.showerror("Some error sending %" % filename)
...

Of course to do so, you need to change the sendfile() function  to a 
function that  takes 'filename' as argument. As a result, there's no 
need for a global variable FILE anymore -- which may solve your 2nd problem:

def sendfile(filename):
    ...
