ftps client based on pycurl

Motivation

If you use the python standard library to connect to an ftps server, you might have to face some bugs as described here and there.

An alternative is to give a try to pycurl which doesn’t have those problems. However, its interface is not very python and sometimes is not very pleasant to work with it.

The goal of this small library is to provide a wrapper around pycurl that can be used easily in a pythonic way.

Features

  • List remote path
  • Download remote file
  • Upload local file

Quick start

import ftps

client = ftps.FTPS(ftps.FTPS('ftp://<user>:<passwd>@<server>'))
client.list()
client.download(<remote_filename>, <local_filename>)
client.upload(<local_filename>, <remote_filename>)

Credits

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up ftps for local development.

  1. Fork the ftps repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/ftps.git

  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv ftps
$ cd ftps/
$ python setup.py develop

  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ flake8 ftps tests
$ python setup.py test or py.test
$ tox

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/jcollado/ftps/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ py.test tests.test_ftps
