Let’s start by creating a simple ftp connection.
#!/usr/bin/env python
from ftplib import FTP
f = FTP('ftp.ibiblio.org')
print "Welcome:", f.getwelcome()
f.login()
print "Current working directory:", f.pwd()
f.quit()#!/usr/bin/env python
import os from ftplib import FTP
if os.path.exists('README'):
raise IOError('refusing to overwrite your README file')
def writeline(data):
fd.write(data)
fd.write(os.linesep)
f = FTP('ftp.kernel.org')
f.login()
f.cwd('/pub/linux/kernel')
fd = open('README', 'w')
f.retrlines('RETR README', writeline)
fd.close()
f.quit()
Uploading a File
#!/usr/bin/env python
from ftplib import FTP
import sys, getpass, os.path
if len(sys.argv) != 5:
print "usage: %s <host> <username> <localfile> <remotedir>" % (
sys.argv[0])
exit(2)
host, username, localfile, remotedir = sys.argv[1:]
password = getpass.getpass(
"Enter password for %s on %s: " % (username, host))
f = FTP(host)
f.login(username, password)
f.cwd(remotedir)
fd = open(localfile, 'rb')
f.storbinary('STOR %s' % os.path.basename(localfile), fd)
fd.close()
f.quit()
