The easiest way I've found to get a file via ftp in python is to user urllib, not ftplib. Something like this (add error checking). import urllib, os fname='something.pdf' url = 'ftp://%...@%s:%s/%s' % ('john', 'secret', 'example.com', fname) # f will have a temporary file name, and h the headers (f, h) = urllib.urlretrieve(url) os.rename(f, fname) Of course this works for http by simply changing the url.
