I'm trying to use ftplib.FTP_TLS, but I can't list the directories.
Everything is OK with Filezilla, but when I'm on iPython, it fails.
import ftplib
from django.conf import settings # just a config file
client = ftplib.FTP_TLS(timeout=10)
client.connect(settings.HOST, 21)
client.auth()
client.prot_p()
client.login(settings.USER,settings.PWD)
client.set_debuglevel(2)
client.retrlines('LIST')
Here is the return of this last command :
*cmd* 'TYPE A'
*put* 'TYPE A\r\n'
*get* '200 Type set to A.\r\n'
*resp* '200 Type set to A.'
*cmd* 'PASV'
*put* 'PASV\r\n'
*get* '227 Entering Passive Mode (10,191,x,x,238,54).\r\n'
*resp* '227 Entering Passive Mode (10,191,x,x,238,54).'

Like I said, it works fine with Filezilla. But I can see something special :
Commande : PASV
Réponse : 227 Entering Passive Mode (10,191,x,x,236,94).
Statut : Le serveur a envoyé une réponse passive avec une adresse non routable. Adresse remplacée par celle du serveur.
The «Statut» lines means something like: «Server send a passive response with a non routable address. Address replaced by the server one».
It seem this is the way to make it work.
My question is: How can I do the same with ftplib? Or is there another option for me?
Thanks!
Suppose you know where to connect to. I think the key may be in this line 326:
325 if self.passiveserver:
326 host, port = self.makepasv()
--> 327 conn = socket.create_connection((host, port), self.timeout)
328 try:
329 if rest is not None:
You can subclass and replace the makepasv() method and return the right address.
Maybe you can use the output of filezilla or wireshark to get to know the right address.
