Hello everybody! I am working on Windows XP and I want to do the following:
1. Connecting to a server using ftp 2. Getting the directory structure and the size of each directory in the root 3. Getting the owner of a file All these steps I want to do with python. What I already have is: 1. Connecting to ftp import ftplib ftp = ftplib.FTP('host') ftp.login(') directory = '/' ftp.cwd(directory) linelist = [] ftp.retrlines('LIST', linelist.append) ftp.close() 2. Getting the directory structure and the size of each directory in the root But I am don't know how to send commands to ftp and capturing the result If have tried: a = [] a=ftp.sendcmd('Dir') By trying to get the directory with 'dir', I am getting an Error 500 result. Furthermore I don't know how to get the directory size. Even I don't know the best command for it. 3. Getting the owner of a file Can I get the owner for one file? I know with the LIST you get them all. Please be so kind and post a little bit of a solution code Thank you very much! Arne -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
