[Twisted-Python] FTPClient storeFile help.

[Oisin Mulvihill]

Hi,

In my current project I'm using python's ftplib to transfer
files. This is proving very slow and I need to improve this.

I looked at Twisted's protocol.ftp.FTPClient some time ago
and there seemed to be no support for uploading files. After
trawling through the comp.lang.python news group I saw
that this had changed in 1.0.4(?), so I decided to try FTPClient
again.

I've attached a modified version of the ftpclient.py example
I'm using. When I run this I login my ftp server ok, do the pwd
ok & then proceed to the storeFile and nothing seems to
happen. When I look at the ftp server I find an empty file
with the correct name however the store operation never
seems to finish.

I confess I really don't know how to handle the two deferred
object that get returned by storeFile. I just add callback/
errorback for each, this could be the problem.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong. I would
really like to use proper async behavior for doing the uploads,
instead of using threads + ftplib.


Thanks,

om


P.S. my system: osx, python 2.2.3, twisted 1.0.7.
