#pyftp

What?

PyFTP is a simple ftp client written on top of ftplib. In short, I got frustrated with ftp and its lack of recursive operations.

What does work?

• mkdir directory creates a new directory.
• rmdir directory removes directory.
• cd directory changes current working directory to directory.
• rm file removes file. Add -r flag to recursively remove everything inside directory. Example rm -r directory removes everything in directory.
• ls directory lists all files in directory. NOTE: If directory is not specified, current directory is listed.
• put local remote copies local file to remote.
• get remote local copies remote file to local.
• local mode - Allows execution of commands on local machine inside pyftp. To execute command on local machine enter single space followed by command you want to execute. Example: ls -a lists all files in working directory on local machine.

TODO

General features

• auto completion
• command history
• multiple transfer types (currently only binary is used)

Command specific improvements

• rm
  • wildcard (and maybe some other matching). Example: rm images/* removes all files in images directory.
• put
  • recursive operations (-r flag) allowing copying of directories. Example: put -r local_folder remote.
• get
  • recursive download (same as put -r)
