Python newb...beware!
I am trying to recursively ftp some files. In the script below, I get an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ftputil.ftp_error.PermanentError: 550 /usr/local/web: No such file or directory
Debugging info: ftputil 2.6, Python 2.6.5 (linux2)

I have no idea what that means. However, when I change the directory to "/path/dir2" it works and prints out "file.txt".
Here's my directory structures:
/path/dir1/another/file.txt # I get the above error with this path
/path/dir2/another/file.txt # this works fine, even though the directories have the same structure
My script: import ftputil
ftp = ftputil.FTPHost('ftp.site.com','user','pass')
recursive = ftp.walk("/path/dir1",topdown=True,onerror=None)
for root,dirs,files in recursive:
for name in files:
print name
ftp.close
Is there a symblolic link in /path/dir1/ that points back to /usr/local/web?
If you want to step over this error you could put a try catch block in and log...
ftp = ftputil.FTPHost('ftp.site.com','user','pass')
try:
recursive = ftp.walk("/path/dir1",topdown=True,onerror=None)
for root,dirs,files in recursive:
for name in files:
print name
except Error e:
print "Error: %s occurred" % (e)
ftp.close
the above will catch all errors. you can also import the specific error your getting and do this...
import ftputil.ftp_error.PermanentError as PermanentError
ftp = ftputil.FTPHost('ftp.site.com','user','pass')
try:
recursive = ftp.walk("/path/dir1",topdown=True,onerror=None)
for root,dirs,files in recursive:
for name in files:
print name
except PermanentError e:
print "Permanent Error: %s occurred" % (e)
ftp.close
