Hi there,
I am using the ftplib library to connect to a ftp server.
After I got connected, I can see a list of file in the current directory
using ftp.dir() or ftp.retrlines('LIST'). But using ftp.nlst() returns
an empty list which seems somehow strange to me. Here is, what I did:
>>> from ftplib import FTP
>>> HOST = 'my.server'
>>> USER = 'myuser'
>>> PASSWD = 'mypass'
>>> ftp = FTP(HOST, USER, PASSWD)
>>> ftp.set_pasv(0) # set active mode
>>> ftp.dir()
-r--r--r-- 1 owner group 121984 Nov 24 12:13 member.dat
-r--r--r-- 1 owner group 115 Nov 24 15:53 status.dat
-r--r--r-- 1 owner group 339 Nov 24 15:53 debug.txt
>>>
>>> ftp.retrlines('LIST')
-r--r--r-- 1 owner group 121984 Nov 24 12:13 member.dat
-r--r--r-- 1 owner group 115 Nov 24 15:53 status.dat
-r--r--r-- 1 owner group 339 Nov 24 15:53 debug.txt
'226 Transfer complete.'
>>>
>>> ftp.nlst()
[]
>>>
I thought "ftp.nlst()" would return the list ['member.dat',
'status.dat', 'debug.txt']. Any idea, what is going wrong here?
