# FTPS Upload
Prepared by: Brian Cohn

# Installation
```py
pip install -r /path/to/requirements.txt
```

# Example usage:

### Bring in dependencies and set up user/pass
```py
import ftplib
from helper_functions import *
user = 'brian'
password = open(
    "~/Documents/GitHub/bc/zmq-telemetry/upload/password.txt").read()

ftp = connect()
```
You need to define a file called `password.txt` and include only one line with your password in plaintext. Do not commit this file, use a .gitignore.

You can view files on the server's home folder with `ftp.retrlines('LIST home')`.

### Upload big file
```py
input_filepath = "/Applications/0ad_macbook.zip"
destination_filepath = "home/brian_scratch/0ad.zip"
tx_with_progress(ftp, input_filepath, destination_filepath,
                 block_size_bytes=12500000)
```
### Download that file back to local
```py
filepath_pensieve = "home/brian_scratch/0ad.zip"
filepath_local = "~/Downloads/0ad.zip"
receive(ftp, filepath_pensieve, filepath_local, 
        block_size_bytes=12500000)
```
### Close out the connection
```py
ftp.quit()
ftp = None
```
