I'm learning Python and I tried using the FTPLib module for Python with this code:
import ftplib
connect = ftplib.FTP('ftp://www.website.com')
connect.login = ('username', 'password')
data = []
connect.dir(data.append)
connect.quit()
for line in data:
print line
(I'm aware that the website, username and password is incorrect, I used my website data which I don't want to share) I received the following error after running the code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ftp.py", line 3, in <module>
ftp = FTP('ftp://www.website.com') # connect to host, default port
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/ftplib.py", line 120, in __init__
self.connect(host)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/ftplib.py", line 135, in connect
self.sock = socket.create_connection((self.host, self.port), self.timeout)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 553, in create_connection
for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, SOCK_STREAM):
socket.gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Just to clarify, I'm using Python 2.7 on a Mac. I don't think there is anymore details I could share. Thank you for your help!
