declarations in a script. So I have the name of each file (i.e.,
apple.txt, blue.txt) in a separate "seed file" that I want the script to
read in and treat each line of the "seed file" as the variable I want to
request the FTP GET on.
So something like:
seedfile.txt contents = apple.com, blue.com. car.txt
Open FTP
CD
Read "seedfile.txt"
For each line in "seedfile.txt" use the line as the variable and issue FTP
GET on that variable
Repeat till end of "sendfile.txt"
quit.
Thoughts? Help?
Yes that looks like a sensible approach and is almost Python.
What bits of it are you struggling with? Convert your pseudo
code into Python code and show us what breaks. Let me do one
step towards that for you...
Open FTP
FTP.CD
with open("seedfile.txt") as filenames:
for name in filenames:
FTP.GET(name.strip())
Close FTP
Can you fill in the blanks?
