quick note on ftplib for python
Hello, Quick note, ftplib gives example host ftp.cwi.nl In its documentation which is a url which is no longer active. when you try the dummy example, ftplib doesn't really output a clear error so it might be worth updating the host, (though most programmers should assume this quickly), Python 2.7 > documentation for ftplib which introduced the feature FTP_TLS gives the examplehost ftp.python.org which is possibly the ideal candidate for the change. Not really a bug, thought id save you the trouble by reporting just incase, it was something worth changing. Cheers
New submission from Georg Brandl: ftp.python.org doesn't seem to listen on port 21 either... anyone know a public FTP server we can use as example? -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [docs] quick note on ftplib for python Datum: Tue, 8 Jan 2013 16:17:14 +1100 Von: Jeremy Orchard <jeremy@gravitymarketing.com.au> An: <docs@python.org> Hello, Quick note, ftplib gives example host ftp.cwi.nl In its documentation which is a url which is no longer active… when you try the dummy example, ftplib doesn’t really output a clear error so it might be worth updating the host, (though most programmers should assume this quickly), Python 2.7 > documentation for ftplib which introduced the feature FTP_TLS gives the examplehost ftp.python.org <ftp://ftp.python.org> which is possibly the ideal candidate for the change.
