I need a python client to do FTPES (explicit), does anyone has experience with any python package that can do this.
I am not able to do this in python, but can connect to FTP server using tools like FileZilla
Thanks
File Transfer Protocol Secure. FTP was around first – but not in a secured state initially. FTPS uses either the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols to provide connection security through encryption. This is provided by the FTPS servers x.
Communication with the server is always encrypted if you use FTP over TLS.
FTP-SSL Explicit is well supported by native Python. After setting up the connection, you can use all the standard ftplib commands. More can be found at: http://docs.python.org/2/library/ftplib.html#ftplib.FTP_TLS
Here's a basic example for downloading a file:
from ftplib import FTP_TLS ftps = FTP_TLS('ftp.MySite.com') ftps.login('testuser', 'testpass') # login anonymously before securing control channel ftps.prot_p() # switch to secure data connection.. IMPORTANT! Otherwise, only the user and password is encrypted and not all the file data. ftps.retrlines('LIST') filename = 'remote_filename.bin' print 'Opening local file ' + filename myfile = open(filename, 'wb') ftps.retrbinary('RETR %s' % filename, myfile.write) ftps.close()
For me this worked: (login after auth). Taken from Nullege. They seem to be tests for ftplib.
self.client = ftplib.FTP_TLS(timeout=10) self.client.connect(self.server.host, self.server.port) # enable TLS self.client.auth() self.client.prot_p() self.client.login(user,pass)
