Hi List,
My name is Julian and I have only coded a few snippets
and small applications in python so far (about 1 year
experience).
Now I want to write an ftp-indexer (indexing files of
special interest) and a server-side-download tool (later
probably multi-threaded -> but that shall be a future
headache ;-)).
I have made myself familiar with the ftplib - but it
doesn' t seem to support resuming. (Is that right?).
Therefore I am trying to implement a small class myself
using the socket-lib.
I have the following questions:
-> Is there already a neat tool for indexing / server-side
download supporting resuming / multiple threads?
-> How is the resuming implemented (didn't find the appropriate
RFC).
-> Is there some sample-code except for ftplib that I should have
a look at (even other scripting-languages) / could use?
-> Would it be easy to extend the ftplib with resuming-capabilities?
Any other thoughts and suggestions are welcome as well...
Thanks in advance,
Juilan Schaefer-Jasinski
