Python Code Snippet: Send a file to an FTP server

Here is a snippet of code I put together to take a file and upload it via FTP to a remote site.

import ftplib
# connect to the server
ftpsite = ftplib.FTP('ftpserver.address.com','FTPUSER','FTPPASSWD')
file = open('FileName.txt','rb')                # file to send
ftpsite.storbinary('STOR FileName.txt', file)   # send the file
file.close()                                    # close file and FTP
ftpsite.quit()
