Manual says
To download a file, use ftp.retrlines('RETR ' + filename)
Here is what i do:
ftp.retrbinary('RETR media/backups/andrey.txt', open("file_to_get.txt", 'a+').write)
Could please someone advise how to put filename variable, previously added via raw_input, after the "RETR" command? Used %s but this does not work, it gets processed like a part of a filename.
ftp.retrbinary('RETR %s', open("file_to_get.txt", 'a+').write) %raw_input("print file name")
produces this:
