You could interrupt the transfer by directly using the lower 'ftp-
data' socket instead of the storbinary() method.
Try the following code (not tested):


import ftplib

file = open('file.ext', 'r')
ftp = ftplib.FTP()
ftp.connect(host='127.0.0.1', port=21)
ftp.login(user='user', passwd='passwd')
conn = ftp.transfercmd('stor file.ext', rest=None)

# the 'shared' var. change it to
# 1 when you want to stop the transfer
stop = 0
while 1:
    chunk = file.read(8192)
    conn.sendall(chunk)
    if not chunk:
        print "finished"
        break
    elif stop:
        print "stopped"
        break
conn.close()
ftp.close()
