ftputil 2.7 is now available from http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/download .
Changes since version 2.6 ------------------------- - ftputil now explicitly tries to get hidden directory and file names (names starting with a dot) from the FTP server. [1] Before, ftputil used a `LIST` command to get directory listings, now it uses `LIST -a` if the server doesn't explicitly reject its usage upon login. Note that the server is free to ignore the `-a` option, so "hidden" directories and files may still not be visible. Please see [2] for details. If you have code that _relies_ on "hidden" directory or file names _not_ being visible, please update the code as necessary. If that's presumably not possible, please send feedback to the mailing list [3] or in private mail [4]. - A bug in the experimental synchronization code was fixed [5]. Thanks to Zhuo Qiang for his help. :-) 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.
