I have been experimenting with using ftpclient.py to access some FTP servers on the net, but have been getting errors with the list() and nlst() calls.
I am using Twisted 1.2.0 + Python 2.3.3 + SuSE 8.2
Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
Example =======
/usr/local/src/Twisted-1.2.0/doc/examples: python ftpclient.py -h ftp.python.org Success!

It looks like someone is calling a function with a string, but the function is expecting a sequence of strings. Three cheers for string iteration! This is definitely a bug in Twisted somewhere, so you should go to http://twistedmatrix.com/bugs/ and report the issue. Though, you may want to do a search first; the problem may already be solved in CVS. -bob
