Kuchling (akuchling) Summary: Remove unncessary NLST from ftp transfers Initial Comment: Using urllib (or urllib2) to open FTP URLs will attempt a 'nlst' (directory listing) before retrieving the file. Some FTP servers block directory listings, but allow 'getting' files just fine. Having urllib do a NLST before retriving files is totally unnecessary, and will fail given the FTP server mentioned above. If a file is not 'gettable', which is what the probable intention of NLST is, it will fail in the retrieve process. This patch removes the NLST from urllib. As a bonus, this makes FTP transfers faster. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M.
