Nice tutorial, exactly what I was looking for. A bit better support to show the Python code would have been nice though.

You use Windows?
It makes me sick.

I just wanted to point out the end product download has changed with the new domain, and is found at http://www.messy-mind.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/uploader.zip instead. I’m sure this applies for other downloads as well.

Er, revision of the previous comment, the Exec line is wrong.

It should be:

Exec=/python /path/to/uploader.py %f

Oh, PS: Assuming anyone wants to translate this to, say, Linux, with the KDE environment, I cooked up a quick thing for that. Basically, you want to do the same thing, except you don’t have to fuck around with the registry. Do this instead:

Create a file named http://ftp.desktop, and copy it to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/ (if that directory doesn’t exist, make it.)

The contents of the file should be:

[Desktop Entry]
ServicesType=all/all
Actions=ftpSend

[Desktop Action ftpSend]
Name=FTP to your site
Exec=python /path/to/uploader.py filename

And assuming you want to get rid of it, it’s quite simple:

rm ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/ftp.desktop

And so you have it. You might have to modify some of the code to fix it for Linux, but the idea is the same.

Pretty useful, although I’d have to go through an entirely different process altogether to add it to my right-click menus. Anyways, kudos to the work you’ve done here.

I’m more of a sucker for PERL, though. Ha. Anyways. Yeah.

Good job.
