is there a simple way to do this?

ftplib seems unable to distinguish between files and dir, a mimetype
check would be good,

the FTP protocol doesn't specify the format for the output from the LIST command, so you have to use some heuristics; see e.g. the code in

http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Tools/scripts/ftpmirror.py

or use a wrapper for Dan Bernstein's ftpparse library (requires a C compiler):

    http://cr.yp.to/ftpparse.html
    http://c0re.23.nu/c0de/ftpparsemodule/
    http://effbot.org/downloads/#ftpparse

Not sure what you mean by "mimetype"; that has nothing to do with directories vs. files, afaik.
