Answer 1

Using ftputil, a fast solution could be:

def download(folder):
    for item in ftp.walk(folder):
        print("Creating dir " + item[0])
        os.mkdir(item[0])
        for subdir in item[1]:
            print("Subdirs " +  subdir)
        for file in item[2]:
            print(r"Copying File {0} \ {1}".format(item[0], file))
            ftp.download(ftp.path.join(item[0],file), os.path.join(item[0],file))
