Thanks for you reply. I am newbie in python.
Im going to use HTTP.
If all you want is to download a file, you might want to look
into using "wget" or "curl" (which work for both HTTP and FTP). E.g.
bash$ wget http://myothermachine/path/to/file.html
However, if you need to roll it into a script, Python's urllib
module will do the trick
>>> import urllib
>>> url = "http://myothermachine/path/to/file.html";
>>> f = urlib.urlopen(url)
>>> out = file('python.txt', 'w')
>>> for line in f: out.write(line)
...
>>> out.close()
>>> f.close()
If the content is small, you can just use
>>> content = f.read()
>>> out.write(content)
instead of the "for line in f: out.write(line)". If you need to
actually parse the HTML that's returned, the common suggestion is
to use the BeautifulSoup add-on module which has worked for my needs.
