ftputil 2.8 is now available from http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/download . Changes since version 2.7.1 --------------------------- - After some discussion [1] I decided to remove the auto-probing before using the `-a` option for `LIST` [2] to find "hidden" files and directories. The option is used by default now, without probing for exceptions. If this new approach causes problems, you can use ftp_host = ftputil.FTPHost(...) ftp_host.use_list_a_option = False - Several bugs were fixed. [3] - The mailing lists have moved to ftputil@lists.sschwarzer.net ftputil-tickets@lists.sschwarzer.net The ftputil list [4] requires a subscription before you can post. The ftputil-tickets list [5] is read-only anyway. Thanks to Codespeak.net for having hosted the lists for almost ten years. :-) What is ftputil? ---------------- ftputil is a high-level FTP client library for the Python programming language. ftputil implements a virtual file system for accessing FTP servers, that is, it can generate file-like objects for remote files. The library supports many functions similar to those in the os, os.path and shutil modules. ftputil has convenience functions for conditional uploads and downloads, and handles FTP clients and servers in different timezones.
