[Tutor] Ftplib error using dir()

[WEISS, MARK (NB)]

Hello Group,

I am trying to build a FTP client and I am getting a 'connection
refused' error when I call the code listed below.  I can login fine (in
my script), and I connect through a command prompt using the ftp command
(Win2K) I can list the files in the remote directory.  Also, to further
confuse the matter I can run this code against a local ftp server and
return the list of files.  

def getListFiles(ftp):
    # return a LIST of the directory contents
    dataList = []
    
    try:
        ftp.dir(dataList.append)
    except socket.error, (errno, strerror):
        print "Error code(%d), Error Message: %s " % (errno, strerror)

        #  - raises - 'Error code(10061), Error Message: Connection
refused'

    except:
        print sys.exc_info()
   
    return dataList

Any ideas on why this is failing or to better isolate the error would be
greatly appreciated.  

Thanks!
