ftputil 2.4.2 is now available from
http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/download .

Changes since version 2.4.1
---------------------------

- Some FTP servers seem to have problems using *any* directory
  argument which contains slashes. The new default for FTP commands
  now is to change into the directory before actually invoking the
  command on a relative path (report and fix suggestion by Nicola
  Murino).

- Calling the method ``FTPHost.stat_cache.resize`` with an argument 0
  caused an exception. This has been fixed; a zero cache size now
  of course doesn't cache anything but doesn't lead to a traceback
  either.

- The installation script ``setup.py`` didn't work with the ``--home``
  option because it still tried to install the documentation in a
  system directory (report by Albrecht Mühlenschulte).

  As a side effect, when using the *global* installation, the
  documentation is no longer installed in the ftputil package
  directory but in a subdirectory ``doc`` of a directory determined by
  Distutils. For example, on my system (Ubuntu 9.04) the documentation
  files are put into ``/usr/local/doc``.

Upgrading is recommended.

What is ftputil?
----------------

ftputil is a high-level FTP client library for the Python programming
language. ftputil implements a virtual file system for accessing FTP
servers, that is, it can generate file-like objects for remote files.
The library supports many functions similar to those in the os,
os.path and shutil modules. ftputil has convenience functions for
conditional uploads and downloads, and handles FTP clients and servers
in different timezones.
