Upload to VT from Ubuntu

Hi I have always wondered as to why on Ubuntu there is no Rightclick on a file and upload to VT, so I modified a python script available on the internet to upload a file on VT and display the results.

I have shows the Python code at the end.

Next to add some actions after right clicking on a file inside nautilus you need nautilus-actions

Next configure nautilus-actions as shown.

The %M is what is going to take our file as input for vtcheck.py.  That is it you have all that you need for Rightclicking on a file and Upload to VT in Ubuntu.

I am not sure if the python script would be shown correctly on blogger, so this screenshot of the code.
