This does not do what you think it does.
>>> help("ftplib.FTP.retrlines")
gives
"""
Help on method retrlines in module ftplib:
retrlines(self, cmd, callback=None) unbound ftplib.FTP method
Retrieve data in line mode.
The argument is a RETR or LIST command.
The callback function (2nd argument) is called for each line,
with trailing CRLF stripped. This creates a new port for you.
print_line() is the default callback.
"""
I. e. you would need something like
lines = []
server.retrlines("LIST", lines.append)
to store the method's output in a variable instead of printing it to stdout.
But try
files = server.nlist()
instead which gives you a list of filenames.
