This evening I wrote a simple script that hopefully explains Python’s ftplib a little bit more than your typical example. For some reason, I couldn’t find anything approaching a comprehensive example of using ftplib on the web. This article is aimed at Python newbies who are looking to do something useful with ftplib.
So here’s my first semi-in-depth piece of 2003: Beyond the Basic Python Ftplib Example. You can also look at the GPL’d source: ftptest.py. Don’t let the name fool you, it’s still very basic, just slightly more in-depth than current online tutorials. Hopefully I’ll be able to expand upon this in the future.
