The ftplib is perhaps too low level in this regard. There are a few 
variants: STOR, STOU, APPE. Try Google, or go right into the official 
specification, RFC959.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959.html (specially section 4.1, FTP Commands).
The example command above "STOR filename" will upload the file (the second 
argument to storbinary) overwriting without prompt any previous file with 
the same name (if it existed).
