Pete,
Not sure but here is an example that seems to always work for me:
(tested this morning before pasting here on ~20 files around 7 - 300 k)
import ftplib
import os
os.chdir("D:/TEMP/dump")
ftp = ftplib.FTP("server")
print ftp.login("anonymous", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]")
ftp.cwd("pub/Python_Applications")
for rFile in ftp.nlst():
print "Getting : ", rFile
rSize = ftp.size(rFile)
lFile = open(rFile, "wb")
ftp.retrbinary("RETR %s" %rFile, lFile.write)
lSize = lFile.tell()
lFile.close()
if rSize==lSize:
print "Transfer complete"
else:
print "BAD Transfer", rSize, lSize
ftp.close()
HTH
