Python and FTPlib Module

Question

Recently I have been interested in FTP servers and I was wondering how to get a python script to download and upload files onto a FTP server I have set up. But I can't seem to get it to work. Every time I typ in this like of code:

ftp = FTP_TLS("ftp.10.0.1.14")

It gives me an error, sorry if it's a stupid question but all my research on the subject say that we're you put the server's adress.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Remove that "ftp." from the beginning of the address you have - it is not part of the IP address. Also, make sure you are importing FTP_TLS:

from ftplib import FTP_TLS
ftp = FTP_TLS("10.0.1.14")

As a side note, when you are getting an error it is a good idea to include the exact error you are getting in your question.
