Python Network Programming Cookbook - Second Edition

By: Pradeeban Kathiravelu, Gary Berger, Dr. M. O. Faruque Sarker

Overview of this book

Python Network Programming Cookbook - Second Edition highlights the major aspects of network programming in Python, starting from writing simple networking clients to developing and deploying complex Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) systems. It creates the building blocks for many practical web and networking applications that rely on various networking protocols. It presents the power and beauty of Python to solve numerous real-world tasks in the area of network programming, network and system administration, network monitoring, and web-application development. In this edition, you will also be introduced to network modelling to build your own cloud network. You will learn about the concepts and fundamentals of SDN and then extend your network with Mininet. Next, you’ll find recipes on Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) and open and proprietary SDN approaches and frameworks. You will also learn to configure the Linux Foundation networking ecosystem and deploy and automate your networks with Python in the cloud and the Internet scale. By the end of this book, you will be able to analyze your network security vulnerabilities using advanced network packet capture and analysis techniques.

Uploading a local file to a remote FTP server

You would like to upload a file to an FTP server.

Getting ready

Let us set up a local FTP server. In Unix/Linux, you can install VSFTPD (Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon) FTP Server using the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install vsftpd  

On a Windows machine, you can install the FileZilla FTP server, which can be downloaded from https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=server. FileZilla can also be installed in Linux. For example, in Debian-based Linux distributions such as Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install filezilla  

You should create an FTP user account following the FTP server package's user manual.
