This is the code I run (python 3.3) host = ... user = ... passwd = ...
from ftplib import FTP ftp = FTP(host, user, passwd) ftp.mkd(b'NewDir') ftp.rmd(b'NewDir') This is the traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "ftp-problem", line 9, in <module> ftp.mkd(b'NewDir') File "/usr/lib/python3.3/ftplib.py", line 612, in mkd resp = self.voidcmd('MKD ' + dirname) TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly The problem is that I do something like this in a backup program. I don't know the locales that other people use. So I manipulate all file and directory names as bytes. Am I doing something wrong? -- Antoon Pardon -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
