My python2 script uploads files nicely using this method but python3 is presenting problems and I'm stuck as to where to go next (googling hasn't helped).

from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP(ftp_host, ftp_user, ftp_pass)
ftp.storbinary('STOR myfile.txt', open('myfile.txt'))

The error I get is

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/rob3/functions/cli_f.py", line 12, in upload
    ftp.storlines('STOR myfile.txt', open('myfile.txt'))
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/ftplib.py", line 454, in storbinary
    conn.sendall(buf)
TypeError: must be bytes or buffer, not str

I tried altering the code to

from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP(ftp_host, ftp_user, ftp_pass)
ftp.storbinary('STOR myfile.txt'.encode('utf-8'), open('myfile.txt'))

But instead I got this

Traceback (most recent call last):

    ftp.storbinary('STOR myfile.txt'.encode('utf-8'), open('myfile.txt'))

    self.putline(line)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/ftplib.py", line 172, in putline
    line = line + CRLF
TypeError: can't concat bytes to str

Can anybody point me in the right direction
