This is my first attempt to FTP a file from a mainframe.  The code:

import ftplib
session = ftplib.FTP('company.lan.com','userid','passwd')
myfile = open('PC.filename','w')
session.retrlines("RETR 'mainframe.filename'", myfile)
myfile.close()
session.quit()

The resulting error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ftp_from_mf.py", line 5, in <module>
    session.retrlines("RETR 'mainframe.filename'", myfile)
  File "c:\python26\lib\ftplib.py", line 428, in retrlines
    callback(line)
TypeError: 'file' object is not callable

Not sure what I'm missing.

When I'm retrieving items I use retrbinary for eg.

from ftplib import FTP

ftp = FTP(url, username, password)
for filename in ftp.nlst(''):
    ftp.retrbinary('RETR %s' % filename, open(filename, 'wb').write)
    ftp.delete(filename)

ftp.close()

I hope that helps.
