sorry cut off due to original email being sent not to the list due to gmail:
A second for that suggestion--the ftp module in the python standard library is
very low level and not very useful for beginners as a lot of the heavy
lifting and management is still left up to you, the programmer.

> # make a new directory and copy a remote file into it
> host.mkdir('newdir')
> source = host.file('index.html', 'r') # file-like object
> target = host.file('newdir/index.html', 'w') # file-like object
> host.copyfileobj(source, target) # similar to shutil.copyfileobj
> source.close()
> target.close()
