I am trying to implement both a FTP server and a client to transfer files, but i am basically unable to make a connection between the two using the ftplib module in python....
This is what I did, how can I fix the code? Is there another approach?
Code for my server : -
#making the important imports for file transfer :
from ftplib import FTP
ftp_object_server=FTP()
#s = socket.socket()
host = "121.0.0.1"
port = 1227
ftp_object_server.connect(host,port)
while True:
c, addr = ftp_object_server.accept()
print c
print addr# Establish connection with client.
print 'Got connection from', addr
c.send('Thank you for connecting')
ftp_object_server.close() # Close the connection
Code for my client : -
from ftplib import FTP
ftp_object_client=FTP()
host = "121.0.0.1" # Get local machine name
port = 1227 # Reserve a port for your service.
#---------Creating My Own Set of username and passwords ------------------------#
Username=['abc','efg','hij']
Password=['123']
input_user_name=raw_input('Enter the Username')
input_user_password=raw_input('Enter the password')
if input_user_name in Username and input_user_password in Password:
ftp_object_client.connect(host)
print ftp_object_client.recv(1024)
ftp_object_client.close()
The ftplib module from the standard library only covers the client part of the FTP protocol.
So what you did is trying to open two connections to 121.0.0.1. I'm assuming you meant localhost, which is 127.0.0.1 anyway.
Not knowing what you are actually trying to achieve, there are some options:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer (or python3 -m http.server in python3) and requests as client
