I'd like to retrieve files' name of a directory and I use the method ftplib.retrlines('NLST' + path)
.
It prints all files' names in the directory path
. But I want to store those files' names in a container, e.g., a list, instead of printing them in the console. How to do that ?
The second (optional) argument to the FTP.retrlines
is a callback
.
FTP.retrlines(command[, callback])
You can use it like:
lines = []
sess.retrlines('NLST ' + path, lines.append)
See also Creating list from retrlines in Python.
You can use FTP.nlst() method. It returns the file names as a list.
>>> FTP.nlst('path')
['x','y','z']
