ftplib works with FTP protocol commands, not ftp client commands (such
as get and mget).
to read data from a remote server, you can use something like:
dst = open(localfile, "wb")
srcFtp.retrbinary("RETR " + file[2:], dst.write)
dst.close()
for more examples, see
http://effbot.org/librarybook/ftplib.htm
for an extensive description of FTP-as-deployed, see daniel bernstein's

hope this helps!
