ftplib

I'm developing an FTP client in Python ftplib. How do I add proxies support to it (most FTP apps I have seen seem to have it)? I'm especially thinking about SOCKS proxies, but also other types... FTP, HTTP (is it even possible to use HTTP proxies with FTP program?) Any ideas how to do it? Kevin Boyd As per this source. Depends on the proxy, but a common method is to ftp to the proxy, then use the username and password for the destination server. E.g. for ftp.example.com: Server address: proxyserver (or open proxyserver from with ftp) User: anonymous@ftp.example.com Password: password In Python

I am trying to download a file from FTP server using ftplib library of Python 3. Here is the relevant code- ftp = ftplib.FTP("ftp://library.daisy.org:21/User_****/Wise & Otherwise-22.zip") ftp.login("xxxxx", "xxxxxxx") ftp.cwd(path) ftp.retrbinary("RETR " + filename, open(filename, 'wb').write) ftp.quit() When I try to run the script the following error shows up- Traceback (most recent call last): File "reader.py", line 604, in <module> sp.process_user_choice() File "reader.py", line 72, in process_user_choice self.download_books() File "reader.py", line 324, in download_books ftp = ftplib.FTP

I have to automatically upload folders to an FTP using a Python script. I am able to upload a single file, but not folders with subfolders and files in them. I did a lot of search, but failed. Could some one help me out here? Thanks in advance. #! /usr/bin/python import ftplib s = ftplib.FTP('serverip','usrname','password') file = '/home/rock/test.txt' ftppath = '/IT' filename = "rak" s.cwd(ftppath) f = open(file,'rb') s.storbinary('STOR ' + filename, f) f.close() s.quit() You basically need to use os.walk() to grab those files and transfer them. Here's a script I wrote for myself to do much

I have the following code which easily connects to the FTP server and opens a zip file. I want to download that file into the local system. How to do that? # Open the file for writing in binary mode print 'Opening local file ' + filename file = open(filename, 'wb') # Download the file a chunk at a time # Each chunk is sent to handleDownload # We append the chunk to the file and then print a '.' for progress # RETR is an FTP command print 'Getting ' + filename ftp.retrbinary('RETR ' + filename, handleDownload) # Clean up time print 'Closing file ' + filename file.close() number23_cn handle =

I am trying to read files using Python's ftplib without writing them. Something roughly equivalent to: def get_page(url): try: return urllib.urlopen(url).read() except: return "" but using FTP. I tried: def get_page(path): try: ftp = FTP('ftp.site.com', 'anonymous', 'passwd') return ftp.retrbinary('RETR '+path, open('page').read()) except: return '' but this doesn't work. The only examples in the docs involve writing files using the ftp.retrbinary('RETR README', open('README', 'wb').write) format. Is it possible to read ftp files without writing first? daniel kullmann Well, you have the answer

I cannot figure out how to see the file contents of an FTP site using ftplib. I can connect to the FTP site using WinSCP just fine, and see the 6 files in the root directory. In Python 3.4, I am using the following code: from ftplib import FTP_TLS ftps = FTP_TLS(timeout=100) ftps.connect(ipAddress, 21) ftps.auth() ftps.prot_p() ftps.login('username', 'password') Which produces: Out[72]: '230 User logged in.' I can then run this: ftps.pwd() ...and I see that I am in the root directory: Out[73]: '/' Everything seems to be gravy. BUT, when I try to see what is in the directory, using ftps.dir()
