FTP Problems

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.

Code:

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.

Code

Good point - Here's the code.

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.
