How to Use FTP / FTP_TLS in Python to List, Upload, and Download Files
In this episode, we’re going to look at how to use FTP in our Python code so that we can list, upload, and download files using the native Python FTP library. We’ll also demonstrate one big gotcha (and workaround) that can cause your session to hang when you upload files on a Microsoft FTP server when using this library. This will focus on FTP TLS that has some added security when compared to a standard FTP session, but the commands are almost the same between the two. In this example, I am using ftplib to access a Microsoft App Service to manage aspx files for a dummy asp.net application on Azure.
