Windows ftp.exe with file?

[treyb]

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?

[pyTony]

ftplib?

[treyb]

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

[treyb]

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?

[pyTony]

Here the solution to this error was removing "0.0.0.0 localhost " from my hosts file located in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc"

[treyb]

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")

[pyTony]

You don't have ftp:// in your host address, I hope.

[treyb]

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

[pyTony]

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()

[treyb]

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?

[pyTony]

Simple

ftp.sendcmd("quote site reboot")

or without quote

ftp.sendcmd("site reboot")

did not work?

[treyb]

 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.

[treyb]

any idea?

[treyb]

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.

[pyTony]

How about

   ftplib.sendcmd('"quote" site reboot')

or

   ftplib.sendcmd('"quote" "site reboot"')

[treyb]

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.

[treyb]

still no dice :(

[pyTony]

You did not try what I said yet, I had " inside '

[treyb]

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 = "[e-mail]"
FROM = "[e-mail]"
BODY = "testing"
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.sever.com', 587)
server.ehlo()
server.login("[e-mail]", "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?

[pyTony]

line 3 and 4 seems to do nothing in your first code (method name without call and unused variable).
