I asked a similar question on here a few days ago and got no response,
however I tried a large download which timed out with the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./download_r1_neodf.py", line 167, in <module>
result = ftp.quit()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/ftplib.py", line 566, in quit
resp = self.voidcmd('QUIT')
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/ftplib.py", line 248, in voidcmd
return self.voidresp()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/ftplib.py", line 223, in voidresp
resp = self.getresp()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/ftplib.py", line 209, in getresp
resp = self.getmultiline()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/ftplib.py", line 195, in getmultiline
line = self.getline()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/ftplib.py", line 182, in getline
line = self.file.readline()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 406, in readline
data = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize)
socket.error: [Errno 110] Connection timed out
BTW, if you want to use the timeout paramter, you must also use the
account parameter. Set it to ''.
