If you want SFTP, just make a copy of ftplib and modify so it will use an SSL socket instead of a normal socket.

AFAIK you're not. I'm having a look at FTP/S right now. That's a little more complicated, but it seems doable. If I succeed, I guess I'll donate the stuff as an extension to ftplib. --eric -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
