hi...

I have written a script for FTP upload using python..

It worked fine when i tried on local boards, but is giving me an error when trying with a remote board via VPN.
this is the error i get:
(104, 'Connection reset by peer')

the machine i developed script on had python2.5 and the one which i am currently running(remote conn) has python 2.4.3

You should first check the server by using a standard ftp client like filezilla.

with filezilla, upload worked. Then it must be a bug in my script?:(

ftplib.error_perm: 552 File not recognized
i: Bad object type: 1

this is what i got...n i learnt that 552 relates to storage allocation exceeded. but my file is only 6,965 KB

It's difficult to help you without the faulty client code.

eagerly awaiting any help

I realized it was not a problem with my client code, but a problem with the 'single binary image'(file to be uploaded) I created:P]. Now it's working fine

There are many possible improvements in your code. Write functions and classes !
