 | 
			
		|||
      The *encoding* parameter was added, and the default was changed from
 | 
			
		||||
      Latin-1 to UTF-8 to follow :rfc:`2640`.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Several :class:`!FTP` methods are available in two flavors:
 | 
			
		||||
   one for handling text files and another for binary files.
 | 
			
		||||
   The methods are named for the command which is used followed by
 | 
			
		||||
   ``lines`` for the text version or ``binary`` for the binary version.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   :class:`FTP` instances have the following methods:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.set_debuglevel(level)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Set the instance's debugging level.  This controls the amount of debugging
 | 
			
		||||
      output printed.  The default, ``0``, produces no debugging output.  A value of
 | 
			
		||||
      ``1`` produces a moderate amount of debugging output, generally a single line
 | 
			
		||||
      per request.  A value of ``2`` or higher produces the maximum amount of
 | 
			
		||||
      debugging output, logging each line sent and received on the control connection.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.connect(host='', port=0, timeout=None, source_address=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Connect to the given host and port.  The default port number is ``21``, as
 | 
			
		||||
      specified by the FTP protocol specification.  It is rarely needed to specify a
 | 
			
		||||
      different port number.  This function should be called only once for each
 | 
			
		||||
      instance; it should not be called at all if a host was given when the instance
 | 
			
		||||
      was created.  All other methods can only be used after a connection has been
 | 
			
		||||
      made.
 | 
			
		||||
      The optional *timeout* parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for the
 | 
			
		||||
      connection attempt. If no *timeout* is passed, the global default timeout
 | 
			
		||||
      setting will be used.
 | 
			
		||||
      *source_address* is a 2-tuple ``(host, port)`` for the socket to bind to as
 | 
			
		||||
      its source address before connecting.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      .. audit-event:: ftplib.connect self,host,port ftplib.FTP.connect
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      .. versionchanged:: 3.3
 | 
			
		||||
         *source_address* parameter was added.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.getwelcome()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Return the welcome message sent by the server in reply to the initial
 | 
			
		||||
      connection.  (This message sometimes contains disclaimers or help information
 | 
			
		||||
      that may be relevant to the user.)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.login(user='anonymous', passwd='', acct='')
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Log in as the given *user*.  The *passwd* and *acct* parameters are optional and
 | 
			
		||||
      default to the empty string.  If no *user* is specified, it defaults to
 | 
			
		||||
      ``'anonymous'``.  If *user* is ``'anonymous'``, the default *passwd* is
 | 
			
		||||
      ``'anonymous@'``.  This function should be called only once for each instance,
 | 
			
		||||
      after a connection has been established; it should not be called at all if a
 | 
			
		||||
      host and user were given when the instance was created.  Most FTP commands are
 | 
			
		||||
      only allowed after the client has logged in.  The *acct* parameter supplies
 | 
			
		||||
      "accounting information"; few systems implement this.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.abort()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Abort a file transfer that is in progress.  Using this does not always work, but
 | 
			
		||||
      it's worth a try.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.sendcmd(cmd)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Send a simple command string to the server and return the response string.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      .. audit-event:: ftplib.sendcmd self,cmd ftplib.FTP.sendcmd
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.voidcmd(cmd)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Send a simple command string to the server and handle the response.  Return
 | 
			
		||||
      nothing if a response code corresponding to success (codes in the range
 | 
			
		||||
      200--299) is received.  Raise :exc:`error_reply` otherwise.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      .. audit-event:: ftplib.sendcmd self,cmd ftplib.FTP.voidcmd
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.retrbinary(cmd, callback, blocksize=8192, rest=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Retrieve a file in binary transfer mode.  *cmd* should be an appropriate
 | 
			
		||||
      ``RETR`` command: ``'RETR filename'``. The *callback* function is called for
 | 
			
		||||
      each block of data received, with a single bytes argument giving the data
 | 
			
		||||
      block. The optional *blocksize* argument specifies the maximum chunk size to
 | 
			
		||||
      read on the low-level socket object created to do the actual transfer (which
 | 
			
		||||
      will also be the largest size of the data blocks passed to *callback*).  A
 | 
			
		||||
      reasonable default is chosen. *rest* means the same thing as in the
 | 
			
		||||
      :meth:`transfercmd` method.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.retrlines(cmd, callback=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Retrieve a file or directory listing in the encoding specified by the
 | 
			
		||||
      *encoding* parameter at initialization.
 | 
			
		||||
      *cmd* should be an appropriate ``RETR`` command (see :meth:`retrbinary`) or
 | 
			
		||||
      a command such as ``LIST`` or ``NLST`` (usually just the string ``'LIST'``).
 | 
			
		||||
      ``LIST`` retrieves a list of files and information about those files.
 | 
			
		||||
      ``NLST`` retrieves a list of file names.
 | 
			
		||||
      The *callback* function is called for each line with a string argument
 | 
			
		||||
      containing the line with the trailing CRLF stripped.  The default *callback*
 | 
			
		||||
      prints the line to ``sys.stdout``.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.set_pasv(val)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Enable "passive" mode if *val* is true, otherwise disable passive mode.
 | 
			
		||||
      Passive mode is on by default.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.storbinary(cmd, fp, blocksize=8192, callback=None, rest=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Store a file in binary transfer mode.  *cmd* should be an appropriate
 | 
			
		||||
      ``STOR`` command: ``"STOR filename"``. *fp* is a :term:`file object`
 | 
			
		||||
      (opened in binary mode) which is read until EOF using its :meth:`~io.IOBase.read`
 | 
			
		||||
      method in blocks of size *blocksize* to provide the data to be stored.
 | 
			
		||||
      The *blocksize* argument defaults to 8192.  *callback* is an optional single
 | 
			
		||||
      parameter callable that is called on each block of data after it is sent.
 | 
			
		||||
      *rest* means the same thing as in the :meth:`transfercmd` method.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      .. versionchanged:: 3.2
 | 
			
		||||
         *rest* parameter added.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.storlines(cmd, fp, callback=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Store a file in line mode.  *cmd* should be an appropriate
 | 
			
		||||
      ``STOR`` command (see :meth:`storbinary`).  Lines are read until EOF from the
 | 
			
		||||
      :term:`file object` *fp* (opened in binary mode) using its :meth:`~io.IOBase.readline`
 | 
			
		||||
      method to provide the data to be stored.  *callback* is an optional single
 | 
			
		||||
      parameter callable that is called on each line after it is sent.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.transfercmd(cmd, rest=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Initiate a transfer over the data connection.  If the transfer is active, send an
 | 
			
		||||
      ``EPRT`` or  ``PORT`` command and the transfer command specified by *cmd*, and
 | 
			
		||||
      accept the connection.  If the server is passive, send an ``EPSV`` or ``PASV``
 | 
			
		||||
      command, connect to it, and start the transfer command.  Either way, return the
 | 
			
		||||
      socket for the connection.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      If optional *rest* is given, a ``REST`` command is sent to the server, passing
 | 
			
		||||
      *rest* as an argument.  *rest* is usually a byte offset into the requested file,
 | 
			
		||||
      telling the server to restart sending the file's bytes at the requested offset,
 | 
			
		||||
      skipping over the initial bytes.  Note however that the :meth:`transfercmd`
 | 
			
		||||
      method converts *rest* to a string with the *encoding* parameter specified
 | 
			
		||||
      at initialization, but no check is performed on the string's contents.  If the
 | 
			
		||||
      server does not recognize the ``REST`` command, an :exc:`error_reply` exception
 | 
			
		||||
      will be raised.  If this happens, simply call :meth:`transfercmd` without a
 | 
			
		||||
      *rest* argument.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.ntransfercmd(cmd, rest=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Like :meth:`transfercmd`, but returns a tuple of the data connection and the
 | 
			
		||||
      expected size of the data.  If the expected size could not be computed, ``None``
 | 
			
		||||
      will be returned as the expected size.  *cmd* and *rest* means the same thing as
 | 
			
		||||
      in :meth:`transfercmd`.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.mlsd(path="", facts=[])
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      List a directory in a standardized format by using ``MLSD`` command
 | 
			
		||||
      (:rfc:`3659`).  If *path* is omitted the current directory is assumed.
 | 
			
		||||
      *facts* is a list of strings representing the type of information desired
 | 
			
		||||
      (e.g. ``["type", "size", "perm"]``).  Return a generator object yielding a
 | 
			
		||||
      tuple of two elements for every file found in path.  First element is the
 | 
			
		||||
      file name, the second one is a dictionary containing facts about the file
 | 
			
		||||
      name.  Content of this dictionary might be limited by the *facts* argument
 | 
			
		||||
      but server is not guaranteed to return all requested facts.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      .. versionadded:: 3.3
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.nlst(argument[, ...])
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Return a list of file names as returned by the ``NLST`` command.  The
 | 
			
		||||
      optional *argument* is a directory to list (default is the current server
 | 
			
		||||
      directory).  Multiple arguments can be used to pass non-standard options to
 | 
			
		||||
      the ``NLST`` command.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      .. note:: If your server supports the command, :meth:`mlsd` offers a better API.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.dir(argument[, ...])
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Produce a directory listing as returned by the ``LIST`` command, printing it to
 | 
			
		||||
      standard output.  The optional *argument* is a directory to list (default is the
 | 
			
		||||
      current server directory).  Multiple arguments can be used to pass non-standard
 | 
			
		||||
      options to the ``LIST`` command.  If the last argument is a function, it is used
 | 
			
		||||
      as a *callback* function as for :meth:`retrlines`; the default prints to
 | 
			
		||||
      ``sys.stdout``.  This method returns ``None``.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      .. note:: If your server supports the command, :meth:`mlsd` offers a better API.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.rename(fromname, toname)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Rename file *fromname* on the server to *toname*.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.delete(filename)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Remove the file named *filename* from the server.  If successful, returns the
 | 
			
		||||
      text of the response, otherwise raises :exc:`error_perm` on permission errors or
 | 
			
		||||
      :exc:`error_reply` on other errors.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.cwd(pathname)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Set the current directory on the server.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.mkd(pathname)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Create a new directory on the server.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.pwd()
 | 
			
		||||
 |

      Return the pathname of the current directory on the server.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.rmd(dirname)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Remove the directory named *dirname* on the server.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.size(filename)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Request the size of the file named *filename* on the server.  On success, the
 | 
			
		||||
      size of the file is returned as an integer, otherwise ``None`` is returned.
 | 
			
		||||
      Note that the ``SIZE`` command is not  standardized, but is supported by many
 | 
			
		||||
      common server implementations.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.quit()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Send a ``QUIT`` command to the server and close the connection. This is the
 | 
			
		||||
      "polite" way to close a connection, but it may raise an exception if the server
 | 
			
		||||
      responds with an error to the ``QUIT`` command.  This implies a call to the
 | 
			
		||||
      :meth:`close` method which renders the :class:`FTP` instance useless for
 | 
			
		||||
      subsequent calls (see below).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. method:: FTP.close()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      Close the connection unilaterally.  This should not be applied to an already
 | 
			
		||||
      closed connection such as after a successful call to :meth:`~FTP.quit`.
 | 
			
		||||
      After this call the :class:`FTP` instance should not be used any more (after
 | 
			
		||||
      a call to :meth:`close` or :meth:`~FTP.quit` you cannot reopen the
 | 
			
		||||
      connection by issuing another :meth:`login` method).

		||||
      before prompting the user.

FTP Objects
 | 
			
		||||
-----------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Several methods are available in two flavors: one for handling text files and
 | 
			
		||||
another for binary files.  These are named for the command which is used
 | 
			
		||||
followed by ``lines`` for the text version or ``binary`` for the binary version.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
:class:`FTP` instances have the following methods:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.set_debuglevel(level)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Set the instance's debugging level.  This controls the amount of debugging
 | 
			
		||||
   output printed.  The default, ``0``, produces no debugging output.  A value of
 | 
			
		||||
   ``1`` produces a moderate amount of debugging output, generally a single line
 | 
			
		||||
   per request.  A value of ``2`` or higher produces the maximum amount of
 | 
			
		||||
   debugging output, logging each line sent and received on the control connection.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.connect(host='', port=0, timeout=None, source_address=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Connect to the given host and port.  The default port number is ``21``, as
 | 
			
		||||
   specified by the FTP protocol specification.  It is rarely needed to specify a
 | 
			
		||||
   different port number.  This function should be called only once for each
 | 
			
		||||
   instance; it should not be called at all if a host was given when the instance
 | 
			
		||||
   was created.  All other methods can only be used after a connection has been
 | 
			
		||||
   made.
 | 
			
		||||
   The optional *timeout* parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for the
 | 
			
		||||
   connection attempt. If no *timeout* is passed, the global default timeout
 | 
			
		||||
   setting will be used.
 | 
			
		||||
   *source_address* is a 2-tuple ``(host, port)`` for the socket to bind to as
 | 
			
		||||
   its source address before connecting.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. audit-event:: ftplib.connect self,host,port ftplib.FTP.connect
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. versionchanged:: 3.3
 | 
			
		||||
      *source_address* parameter was added.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.getwelcome()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Return the welcome message sent by the server in reply to the initial
 | 
			
		||||
   connection.  (This message sometimes contains disclaimers or help information
 | 
			
		||||
   that may be relevant to the user.)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.login(user='anonymous', passwd='', acct='')
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Log in as the given *user*.  The *passwd* and *acct* parameters are optional and
 | 
			
		||||
   default to the empty string.  If no *user* is specified, it defaults to
 | 
			
		||||
   ``'anonymous'``.  If *user* is ``'anonymous'``, the default *passwd* is
 | 
			
		||||
   ``'anonymous@'``.  This function should be called only once for each instance,
 | 
			
		||||
   after a connection has been established; it should not be called at all if a
 | 
			
		||||
   host and user were given when the instance was created.  Most FTP commands are
 | 
			
		||||
   only allowed after the client has logged in.  The *acct* parameter supplies
 | 
			
		||||
   "accounting information"; few systems implement this.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.abort()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Abort a file transfer that is in progress.  Using this does not always work, but
 | 
			
		||||
   it's worth a try.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.sendcmd(cmd)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Send a simple command string to the server and return the response string.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. audit-event:: ftplib.sendcmd self,cmd ftplib.FTP.sendcmd
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.voidcmd(cmd)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Send a simple command string to the server and handle the response.  Return
 | 
			
		||||
   nothing if a response code corresponding to success (codes in the range
 | 
			
		||||
   200--299) is received.  Raise :exc:`error_reply` otherwise.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. audit-event:: ftplib.sendcmd self,cmd ftplib.FTP.voidcmd
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.retrbinary(cmd, callback, blocksize=8192, rest=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Retrieve a file in binary transfer mode.  *cmd* should be an appropriate
 | 
			
		||||
   ``RETR`` command: ``'RETR filename'``. The *callback* function is called for
 | 
			
		||||
   each block of data received, with a single bytes argument giving the data
 | 
			
		||||
   block. The optional *blocksize* argument specifies the maximum chunk size to
 | 
			
		||||
   read on the low-level socket object created to do the actual transfer (which
 | 
			
		||||
   will also be the largest size of the data blocks passed to *callback*).  A
 | 
			
		||||
   reasonable default is chosen. *rest* means the same thing as in the
 | 
			
		||||
   :meth:`transfercmd` method.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.retrlines(cmd, callback=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Retrieve a file or directory listing in the encoding specified by the
 | 
			
		||||
   *encoding* parameter at initialization.
 | 
			
		||||
   *cmd* should be an appropriate ``RETR`` command (see :meth:`retrbinary`) or
 | 
			
		||||
   a command such as ``LIST`` or ``NLST`` (usually just the string ``'LIST'``).
 | 
			
		||||
   ``LIST`` retrieves a list of files and information about those files.
 | 
			
		||||
   ``NLST`` retrieves a list of file names.
 | 
			
		||||
   The *callback* function is called for each line with a string argument
 | 
			
		||||
   containing the line with the trailing CRLF stripped.  The default *callback*
 | 
			
		||||
   prints the line to ``sys.stdout``.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.set_pasv(val)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Enable "passive" mode if *val* is true, otherwise disable passive mode.
 | 
			
		||||
   Passive mode is on by default.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.storbinary(cmd, fp, blocksize=8192, callback=None, rest=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Store a file in binary transfer mode.  *cmd* should be an appropriate
 | 
			
		||||
   ``STOR`` command: ``"STOR filename"``. *fp* is a :term:`file object`
 | 
			
		||||
   (opened in binary mode) which is read until EOF using its :meth:`~io.IOBase.read`
 | 
			
		||||
   method in blocks of size *blocksize* to provide the data to be stored.
 | 
			
		||||
   The *blocksize* argument defaults to 8192.  *callback* is an optional single
 | 
			
		||||
   parameter callable that is called on each block of data after it is sent.
 | 
			
		||||
   *rest* means the same thing as in the :meth:`transfercmd` method.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. versionchanged:: 3.2
 | 
			
		||||
      *rest* parameter added.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.storlines(cmd, fp, callback=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Store a file in line mode.  *cmd* should be an appropriate
 | 
			
		||||
   ``STOR`` command (see :meth:`storbinary`).  Lines are read until EOF from the
 | 
			
		||||
   :term:`file object` *fp* (opened in binary mode) using its :meth:`~io.IOBase.readline`
 | 
			
		||||
   method to provide the data to be stored.  *callback* is an optional single
 | 
			
		||||
   parameter callable that is called on each line after it is sent.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.transfercmd(cmd, rest=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Initiate a transfer over the data connection.  If the transfer is active, send an
 | 
			
		||||
   ``EPRT`` or  ``PORT`` command and the transfer command specified by *cmd*, and
 | 
			
		||||
   accept the connection.  If the server is passive, send an ``EPSV`` or ``PASV``
 | 
			
		||||
   command, connect to it, and start the transfer command.  Either way, return the
 | 
			
		||||
   socket for the connection.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   If optional *rest* is given, a ``REST`` command is sent to the server, passing
 | 
			
		||||
   *rest* as an argument.  *rest* is usually a byte offset into the requested file,
 | 
			
		||||
   telling the server to restart sending the file's bytes at the requested offset,
 | 
			
		||||
   skipping over the initial bytes.  Note however that the :meth:`transfercmd`
 | 
			
		||||
   method converts *rest* to a string with the *encoding* parameter specified
 | 
			
		||||
   at initialization, but no check is performed on the string's contents.  If the
 | 
			
		||||
   server does not recognize the ``REST`` command, an :exc:`error_reply` exception
 | 
			
		||||
   will be raised.  If this happens, simply call :meth:`transfercmd` without a
 | 
			
		||||
   *rest* argument.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.ntransfercmd(cmd, rest=None)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Like :meth:`transfercmd`, but returns a tuple of the data connection and the
 | 
			
		||||
   expected size of the data.  If the expected size could not be computed, ``None``
 | 
			
		||||
   will be returned as the expected size.  *cmd* and *rest* means the same thing as
 | 
			
		||||
   in :meth:`transfercmd`.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.mlsd(path="", facts=[])
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   List a directory in a standardized format by using ``MLSD`` command
 | 
			
		||||
   (:rfc:`3659`).  If *path* is omitted the current directory is assumed.
 | 
			
		||||
   *facts* is a list of strings representing the type of information desired
 | 
			
		||||
   (e.g. ``["type", "size", "perm"]``).  Return a generator object yielding a
 | 
			
		||||
   tuple of two elements for every file found in path.  First element is the
 | 
			
		||||
   file name, the second one is a dictionary containing facts about the file
 | 
			
		||||
   name.  Content of this dictionary might be limited by the *facts* argument
 | 
			
		||||
   but server is not guaranteed to return all requested facts.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. versionadded:: 3.3
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.nlst(argument[, ...])
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Return a list of file names as returned by the ``NLST`` command.  The
 | 
			
		||||
   optional *argument* is a directory to list (default is the current server
 | 
			
		||||
   directory).  Multiple arguments can be used to pass non-standard options to
 | 
			
		||||
   the ``NLST`` command.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. note:: If your server supports the command, :meth:`mlsd` offers a better API.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.dir(argument[, ...])
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Produce a directory listing as returned by the ``LIST`` command, printing it to
 | 
			
		||||
   standard output.  The optional *argument* is a directory to list (default is the
 | 
			
		||||
   current server directory).  Multiple arguments can be used to pass non-standard
 | 
			
		||||
   options to the ``LIST`` command.  If the last argument is a function, it is used
 | 
			
		||||
   as a *callback* function as for :meth:`retrlines`; the default prints to
 | 
			
		||||
   ``sys.stdout``.  This method returns ``None``.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. note:: If your server supports the command, :meth:`mlsd` offers a better API.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.rename(fromname, toname)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Rename file *fromname* on the server to *toname*.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.delete(filename)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Remove the file named *filename* from the server.  If successful, returns the
 | 
			
		||||
   text of the response, otherwise raises :exc:`error_perm` on permission errors or
 | 
			
		||||
   :exc:`error_reply` on other errors.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.cwd(pathname)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Set the current directory on the server.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.mkd(pathname)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Create a new directory on the server.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.pwd()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Return the pathname of the current directory on the server.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.rmd(dirname)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Remove the directory named *dirname* on the server.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.size(filename)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Request the size of the file named *filename* on the server.  On success, the
 | 
			
		||||
   size of the file is returned as an integer, otherwise ``None`` is returned.
 | 
			
		||||
   Note that the ``SIZE`` command is not  standardized, but is supported by many
 | 
			
		||||
   common server implementations.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.quit()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Send a ``QUIT`` command to the server and close the connection. This is the
 | 
			
		||||
   "polite" way to close a connection, but it may raise an exception if the server
 | 
			
		||||
   responds with an error to the ``QUIT`` command.  This implies a call to the
 | 
			
		||||
   :meth:`close` method which renders the :class:`FTP` instance useless for
 | 
			
		||||
   subsequent calls (see below).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP.close()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Close the connection unilaterally.  This should not be applied to an already
 | 
			
		||||
   closed connection such as after a successful call to :meth:`~FTP.quit`.
 | 
			
		||||
   After this call the :class:`FTP` instance should not be used any more (after
 | 
			
		||||
   a call to :meth:`close` or :meth:`~FTP.quit` you cannot reopen the
 | 
			
		||||
   connection by issuing another :meth:`login` method).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
FTP_TLS Objects
 | 
			
		||||
---------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
:class:`FTP_TLS` class inherits from :class:`FTP`, defining these additional objects:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. attribute:: FTP_TLS.ssl_version
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   The SSL version to use (defaults to :data:`ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23`).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP_TLS.auth()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Set up a secure control connection by using TLS or SSL, depending on what
 | 
			
		||||
   is specified in the :attr:`ssl_version` attribute.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. versionchanged:: 3.4
 | 
			
		||||
      The method now supports hostname check with
 | 
			
		||||
      :attr:`ssl.SSLContext.check_hostname` and *Server Name Indication* (see
 | 
			
		||||
      :const:`ssl.HAS_SNI`).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP_TLS.ccc()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Revert control channel back to plaintext.  This can be useful to take
 | 
			
		||||
   advantage of firewalls that know how to handle NAT with non-secure FTP
 | 
			
		||||
   without opening fixed ports.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   .. versionadded:: 3.3
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP_TLS.prot_p()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Set up secure data connection.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
.. method:: FTP_TLS.prot_c()
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Set up clear text data connection.
