ftputil 3.1 is now available from http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/download . Changes since version 3.0 ------------------------- - Added support for `followlinks` parameter in `FTPHost.walk`. [1] - Trying to pickle `FTPHost` and `FTPFile` objects now raises explicit `TypeError`s to make clear that not being able to pickle these objects is intentional. [2] - Improved exception messages for socket errors [3]. - Fixed handling of server error messages with non-ASCII characters when running under Python 2.x. [4] - Added a generic "session factory factory" to make creation of session factories easier for common use cases (encrypted connections, non-default port, active/passive mode, FTP session debug level and combination of these). [5] This includes a workaround for `M2Crypto.ftpslib.FTP_TLS`; this class won't be usable with ftputil 3.0 and up with _just_ the session factory recipe described in the documentation. [6] - Don't assume time zone differences to always be full hours, but rather 15-minute units. [7] For example, according to [8], Nepal's time zone is UTC+05:45. - Improved documentation on timeout handling. This includes information on internal creation of additional FTP connections (for remote files, including uploads and downloads). This may help understand better why the `keep_alive` method is limited. Note that ftputil 3.0 broke backward compatibility with ftputil 2.8 and before. The differences are described here: http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/wiki/WhatsNewInFtputil3.0 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.
