I'm trying to write a very small script that will connect to a host and
download a file (much more to come in the future). The following is what
I've assembled from the ftplib manual.
from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP('ftp.thepaperclipse.com')
ftp.login("drgoslee", "patribus")
ftp.retrbinary('RETR ./httpdocs/dbbackups/PaperClipse_sql.tar.gz');
ftp.quit()
Naturally however, I am getting an error.
ftp.retrbinary('RETR/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/thepaperclipse.com/\
httpdocs/dbbackups/PaperClipse_sql.tar.gz');
TypeError: retrbinary() takes at least 3 arguments (2 given)
It makes sense, but I don't know how to correct it. What do I need to set
the other parameter(s) to? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
