Hi am successfully downloading my text files and writing them to
local files with either
<ftp://ftp.retrlines('RETR>ftp.retrlines('RETR ' + fl, fileObj.write)"
<ftp://ftp.retrbinary('retr/>ftp.retrbinary('RETR ' + fl, fileObj.write)
However all my recieved (log) files have lost thier newline characters?
Both methods are different. From the docs for retrlines: "Retrieve a
file or directory listing in ASCII transfer mode (...) The callback
function is called for each line, with the trailing CRLF stripped.".
The callback should be responsible of writting the missing '\n' then
(fileObj should have been opened in text mode):
<ftp://ftp.retrlines('RETR>ftp.retrlines('RETR ' + fl, lambda line:
fileObj.write('%s\n' % line))
Using retrbinary() you get the file in pieces, thay you should write
in binary mode (just as the original code). The resulting file should
be identical to the original file on the server. Line endings may be
different on both platforms (some editors may allow to convert
between \n, \r\n, \r...). That's why for a log file the ASCII
transfer mode is better.
