Summary: can't send files via ftp on my MacOS X 10.3.9

Initial Comment:

When trying to do a simple ftp upload using Python
2.3's ftplib, it fails and I get a socket error.  The
exact error is (61, 'Connection refused').  This
happens to me in all my scripts that use the ftplib on
MacOS 10.3.9, but not in scripts on my Windows box. 
I've attached the small, simple source code.

I use ftplib on OSX and don't see problems (both python 2.3 and 2.4 on OSX 
10.3 and 10.4). I agree with tjreedy that this is most likely a problem with the 
environment of the user.

This could be a problem in your specific machine and its 
setup, the specific OS version, the specific target (maybe 
nyx doesn't like MACs), or the specific Python version.

I would start by installing 2.4.2 and see if there have 
maybe been helpful changes to its socket code.  And try to 
find another Mac box.  And then ask on python-
list/comp.lang.python for other experiences with Max, OSX, 
sockets, and maybe ftp.  Since the error message comes 
from the OS blaming nyx, I think more likely than not that 
this is not a Python bug.
