- # A simple FTP client.
- #
- # The information to write this program was gathered from RFC 959,
- # but this is not a complete implementation! Yet it shows how a simple
- # FTP client can be built, and you are welcome to extend it to suit
- # it to your needs...
- #
- # How it works (assuming you've read the RFC):
- #
- # User commands are passed uninterpreted to the server. However, the
- # user never needs to send a PORT command. Rather, the client opens a
- # port right away and sends the appropriate PORT command to the server.
- # When a response code 150 is received, this port is used to receive
- # the data (which is written to stdout in this version), and when the
- # data is exhausted, a new port is opened and a corresponding PORT
- # command sent. In order to avoid errors when reusing ports quickly
- # (and because there is no s.getsockname() method in Python yet) we
- # cycle through a number of ports in the 50000 range.
