I am trying to use Win Python to ftp files from an AS/400 IFS directory
down to my Windows machine.
I seem to get stuck when I am trying to send a command to the AS/400 to
switch file systems from native to IFS and then to issue a cd to my
folder. I get the error below.
If anyone has had experience trying to ftp from a 400, I would greatly
appreciate any info on the topic.
Code:
import ftplib, os
filename=''
path = "jde7333"
os.chdir('c:\\ftp_jde400')
ftp = ftplib.FTP('test400')
ftp.login('oneworld', 'onew0r1d')
#ftp.sendcmd('quote site namefmt 1')
ftp.sendcmd('site namefmt 1')
ftp.cwd(path)
#remotefiles = ftp.nlst()
#ftp.retrlines('LIST')
#for filename in remotefiles:
# file = open(filename, 'wb')
# ftp.retrbinary('RETR ' + filename, file.write, 1024)
# file.close()
ftp.quit()
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
