Hi everybody:

I get an error when I used urllib2.urlopen() to open a remote file in a ftp
server, My code is the following:

>>> file = 'ftp:/192.168.250.14:2180/RTVE/VIDEOS/Thisisit.wmv'
>>> mydata = urllib2.urlopen(file)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 126, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 391, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 409, in _open
    '_open', req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 369, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 1316, in ftp_open
    raise URLError('ftp error: no host given')
URLError: <urlopen error ftp error: no host given>

But how you can see I get an error 'no host given'.
Any idea how to solve this ? Could you help me please ?
Regards
Ariel
