How to manage two (different) sockets without using threads?

[Jordan]

Why are you trying to make this asynchronous? I think part of the point
of ftp using two sockets was to make it multithreaded.  If you're going
to make it asynchronous, It's probably going to be easier to do the
"select"ing  yourself, instead of relying on asyncore or asynchat.
Unless you have an insanely fast connection and/or really small files
on the server, using asynchronous socket handling is going to stop up
the server b/c select won't check the other sockets until the current
one is done with whatever it's doing.
