I'm having trouble with the ftplib module in Python 2.0

It was working yesterday but today it is giving me trouble. I'll post the traceback output below.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\python20\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line 394, in ImportFile
    exec codeObj in __main__.__dict__
  File "<auto import>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\ftp_test.py", line 13, in ?
    ftp = ftplib.FTP("webstage.intra.lifespan.org")
AttributeError: FTP

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris

If you haven't changed your Python script from the night before I would say it is something outside of your Python script that has changed.

I can't be much more helpful than that without seeing the code.

Good point - Here's the code.

import ftplib
import os
import re

print "\nBegining Transfer..."

reportDirectory = "C:\Program Files\Analog\Reports"
ftpTarget = "webstage.intra.lifespan.org"
ftpDirectory = "webreports/testing"
ftpUser = "anonymous"
ftpPass = "anon@lifespan.org"

ftp = ftplib.FTP("webstage.intra.lifespan.org")
ftp.login(ftpUser,ftpPass)
ftp.cwd(ftpDirectory)
print "\n" + ftp.getresp()
#print os.getcwd()
for file in os.listdir(reportDirectory):
	print "\n" + file
	if re.match("\w+\d{6}\.html",file):
		ftp.storbinary("STOR" + file, open(file, "rb"), 1024)
		print "\n" + ftp.getresp()
		
print "\nDone Transfer"

print ftp.dir()

ftp.quit()

Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you.

I ran your code up until the point that I logged in to a server. One problem I found is that the address could not be found which generated an error. I put in my own ftp address with l/p and it worked fine.

I only ran the code on the interactive command line until this point.

print "\n" + ftp.getresp()

Hope this helps.

Hi, and thanks for writing back again.

I can't believe I didn't catch this before but the problem was because I was trying to connect to our intranet server from our extranet server which exists on the outside of our firwall. DUH!

Thanks again for checking into it, though.
