I am using ftplib to connect to an ftp site. I want to get the most recently uploaded file and download it. I am able to connect to the ftp server and list the files, I also have put them in a list and got the datefield converted. Is there any function/module which can get the recent date and output the whole line from the list?
I’m trying to load a CSV file to Amazon S3 with Python. I need to know CSV file’s modification time. I’m using ftplib to connect FTP with Python (2.7).
I’m trying to connect to an FTP but I am unable to run any commands.
Using Python and ftplib, I’m writing a generic function to check whether the items in an FTP directory are either files or directories. Since using the MLSD function might not necessarily work with all servers ( one of my use cases does not provide for it ) I have resorted to this effective but crude manner of determining it, by attempting to change directory to the object and if the object is a file, an exception is raised and the file type is set accordingly.
