I'm not sure if this is a python problem or something else.
I'm trying with the use of ftplib to get a dump on a remote machine.
The dump mirrors the directory structure but instead of the files
a bziped tar file is made and transferred.
While mirroring the directory structure I don't care to check which
directories are already present. I just try to make the directory
and catch the exception when it occurs. This worked fine until now.
I recently movade the script to a new computer and use a different
ftp server. Now it seems the error code for the ftp.mkd is received
by the storbinary later on.
This is the traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ftpdump", line 141, in <module>
main()
File "ftpdump", line 133, in main
process(path)
File "ftpdump", line 90, in process
ftp.storbinary("STOR %s\n" % pj(cprt, "!ENTRY-tbz"), fl)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ftplib.py", line 425, in storbinary
self.voidcmd('TYPE I')
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ftplib.py", line 246, in voidcmd
return self.voidresp()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ftplib.py", line 221, in voidresp
resp = self.getresp()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ftplib.py", line 216, in getresp
raise error_perm, resp
ftplib.error_perm: 521 "/tmpstor/rcpc42/bin" directory exists
This is part of the code:
# Somethings define somewhere above
#
# pj = os.path.join
# FTPProblem = ftplib.error_temp
while problem:
try:
ftp.storbinary("STOR %s\n" % pj(cprt, "!ENTRY-tbz"), fl)
fl.close()
problem = False
except FTPProblem:
warn ("reconnecting for %s\n" % cprt)
try:
ftp.quit()
except Exception:
pass
time.sleep(5)
ftpconnect()
So what seems to happen is that I call the ftp.storbinary and that
I get the mesg: ftplib.error_perm: 521 "/tmpstor/rcpc42/bin" directory exists
That I should have gotten while doing the ftp.mkd earlier.
Can someone shed some light on how to deal with this?
