Python newb here so please bear with me. I m putting together a script to download all the files from a directory via FTP. So far I have managed to connect and fetch one file, but I cannot seem to make to work in batch (get all the files from the directory) Here is what I have so far:
from ftplib import FTP
import os, sys, os.path
def handleDownload(block):
file.write(block)
print “.”,
ddir=’C:\\Data\\test\\’
os.chdir(ddir)
ftp = FTP(‘test1/server/’)
print ‘Logging in.’
ftp.login(‘user1\\anon’, ‘pswrd20’)
directory = ‘\\data\\test\\’
print ‘Changing to ‘ + directory
ftp.cwd(directory)
ftp.retrlines(‘LIST’)
print ‘Accessing files’
for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(directory):
for file in files:
full_fname = os.path.join(root, fname);
print ‘Opening local file ‘
ftp.retrbinary(‘RETR C:\\Data\\test\\’ + fname,
handleDownload,
open(full_fname, ‘wb’));
print ‘Closing file ‘ + filename
file.close();
ftp.close()
I bet you can tell that it does not do much when I run it, so any suggestions for improvements would be greatly appreciated
PS This is not homework :DD
Thanks!!

I’ve managed to crack this, so now posting the relevant bit of code for future visitors:
filenames = ftp.nlst() # get filenames within the directory
print filenames
for filename in filenames:
local_filename = os.path.join(‘C:\\test\\’, filename)
file = open(local_filename, ‘wb’)
ftp.retrbinary(‘RETR ‘+ filename, file.write)
file.close()
ftp.quit() # This is the “polite” way to close a connection
This worked for me on Python 2.5, Windows XP.
