This is what I have tried so far,
import urllib
proxies = {'ftp':'ftp://proxy_server:21'}
ftp_server = 'ftp.somecompany.com'
ftp_port='21'
username = 'aaaa'
password = 'secretPW'
ftp_string='ftp://' + username + '@' + password + ftp_server + ':' +
ftp_port
data = urllib.urlopen(ftp_string, proxies=proxies)
data=urllib.urlopen(req).read()
print data
I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./ftptest.py", line 22, in ?
data = urllib.urlopen(ftp_server, proxies=proxies)
