I am trying to ftp on a windows system using a file with the settings in it. This is what is in the file:
Address.to.device
username
password
"quote"
"site reboot"
quit
This will reboot a camera and it works. I even have it running on powershell script and it works. I can not get it work in powershell.
here is what I have:
subprocess.call(["C:/Windows/System32/ftp.exe", "-s:C:\test\ftp.txt"])
How do I get this to work and how do I get it to wait for its completetion before moving on?
ftplib?
I could figure out how to use ftplib to send the commands. I need it to send the below commands for it to be worth it:
"quote"
"site reboot"
How do I do that? If it helps, I am a python newbie and having fun learning it. I love this language and love its power
Here is what I got so far......
ftphost = fname + hostend #device.address.edu
from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP(ftphost)
ftp.login('user', 'pass')
ftp.sendcmd("\"quote\"")
ftp.sendcmd("site reboot")
ftp.sendcmd("quit")
It throws this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\treyb\Desktop\pythontest.py", line 57, in <module>
ftp = FTP(ftphost)
File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 117, in __init__
self.connect(host)
File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 132, in connect
self.sock = socket.create_connection((self.host, self.port), self.timeout)
File "C:\Python27\lib\socket.py", line 553, in create_connection
for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, SOCK_STREAM):
gaierror: [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed
How do I fix this?
Here the solution to this error was removing "0.0.0.0 localhost " from my hosts file located in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc"
that did not work :(
I have updated the code to this:
ftp = ftplib.FTP(ftphost, "user", "pass")
ftp.sendcmd("\"quote\"")
ftp.sendcmd("site reboot")
ftp.sendcmd("quit")
nope
An example of one of the addresses is cse-211-cam01.circa.ufl.edu
It will take the name of a folder (cse-211-cam01) and then add the .circa.ufl.edu with
hostend = ".circa.ufl.edu"
ftphost = fname + hostend
Maybe you need FTP_TLS, or need to have acct not ''?
FTP.set_debuglevel(level) could help to spot problem cause.
Actually I get same error when trying the HELP example:
>>> from ftplib import FTP
>>> ftp = FTP('ftp.cwi.nl')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
ftp = FTP('ftp.cwi.nl')
File "I:\python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 117, in __init__
self.connect(host)
File "I:\python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 132, in connect
self.sock = socket.create_connection((self.host, self.port), self.timeout)
File "I:\python27\lib\socket.py", line 553, in create_connection
for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, SOCK_STREAM):
gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed
>>>
But this address does not exist anymore, this works:
>>> ftp = FTP('ftp.uwasa.fi')
>>> ftp.login()

have no idea what happened, but this morning
ftp = ftplib.FTP(ftphost, "user", "pass")
ftp.login()
worked. Now the issue is how do I send the text commands to the device.
ftp.sendcmd('\"quote\"')
The above does not work. Throws:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#46>", line 1, in <module>
ftp.sendcmd('\"quote\"')
File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 244, in sendcmd
return self.getresp()
File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 219, in getresp
raise error_perm, resp
error_perm: 500 Syntax error.
Am I using the command correctly?
Simple
ftp.sendcmd("quote site reboot")
or without quote
ftp.sendcmd("site reboot")
did not work?
ftp.sendcmd("quote site reboot")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#54>", line 1, in <module>
ftp.sendcmd("quote site reboot")
File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 244, in sendcmd
return self.getresp()
File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 219, in getresp
raise error_perm, resp
error_perm: 500 Syntax error.
That is what I got. The "quote" HAS to have the "'s around them.
any idea?
I keep getting a syntax error when I do:
ftp.sendcmd("\"quote\"")
I need to have the quotes in it and I have tried everything I can think of, including creating a variable and nothing.
How about
ftplib.sendcmd('"quote" site reboot')
or
ftplib.sendcmd('"quote" "site reboot"')
ftp.sendcmd("quote site reboot")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#54>", line 1, in <module>
ftp.sendcmd("quote site reboot")
File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 244, in sendcmd
return self.getresp()
File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 219, in getresp
raise error_perm, resp
error_perm: 500 Syntax error.
That is what I got. The "quote" HAS to have the "'s around them.
still no dice :(
You did not try what I said yet, I had " inside '
Ok moved it to the actual server and the below works:
ftphost = fname + hostend
ftp = ftplib.FTP(ftphost, "user", "pass")
ftp.login
quote = "\"quote\""
ftp.sendcmd("site reboot")
ftp.sendcmd("quit")
ftp.quit
How do I get it to wait for the process to finish before moving on to the next one (it is located in a for loop)
And now I have an issue with smtp... I have searched it everywhere and it looks 100% correct... I have opened the port 587
and still get a fail.
Here is the Code:
SUBJECT = "Camera report:"
TO = "me@domain.com"
FROM = "server@domain.com"
BODY = "testing"
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.sever.com', 587)
server.ehlo()
server.login("username@domain.com", "pass")
server.sendmail(FROM, TO, BODY)
server.quit()
and I get the error code of:
File "C:\Python27\lib\smtplib.py", line 604, in login
raise SMTPAuthenticationError(code, resp)
SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, '5.7.0 authentication failed')
any ideas what I need to add or change to fix this?
line 3 and 4 seems to do nothing in your first code (method name without call and unused variable).
Sorry about yesterday.. I was not at work. The ftp work correctly, although I cleaned up the part you talked about. Below is the corrected code.
ftphost = fname + hostend
ftp = ftplib.FTP(ftphost, "user", "pass")
ftp.login
ftp.sendcmd("site reboot")
ftp.sendcmd("quit")
ftp.quit
The problem I am having now is the email section now. I know the username and password is correct (I am using it successfully with powershell at the moment) so that just leave the syntax or some other issues.
Why does the blow not work? (I have created a test .py with just the email)
import smtplib
SUBJECT = "Camera report:"
TO = "me@domain.com"
FROM = "user@domain.com"
BODY = "testing"
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.ufl.edu')
server.ehlo()
server.login("user@domain.com", "pass")
server.sendmail(FROM, TO, BODY)
server.quit()
any idea?
I just tried that snippet and I still get the authentication error. I retried the user name and pass in powershell and it worked just fine. There has to be something I am missing.
any idea?
