can anyone explain me to login to this link(ftpservice.acesphere.com) through python

Solution

  • The URL you are trying to access requires NTLM authentication. You can try python-ntlm package:

    from ntlm import HTTPNtlmAuthHandler
import urllib2

url = "http://ftpservice.acesphere.com/stocks/indices/master/indicesmaster_new.ace"
user = r'domain\user'
password = "password"

pm = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
pm.add_password(None, "http://ftpservice.acesphere.com/", user, password)
auth = HTTPNtlmAuthHandler.HTTPNtlmAuthHandler(pm)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)

response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
print response.read()
