My goal is to have a basic FTP program written in Python. First, I need to gain more knowledge. My question is, how can I connect to an Ubuntu Server (hosted via VirtualBox) using Python?
I have tried using the page on the official Python website but I get an error saying socket.error: [Errno 61] Connection refused when using this
from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP('[email protected]')
This is the output I get when using ftp - FTP('10.0.0.12')
Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in 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 575, in create_connection raise err socket.error: [Errno 61] Connection refused
I can use an FTP program such as Transmit (the same port and on SFTP) on the same machine and it works fine.
Python's ftplib does not support SFTP, so using PySFTP would work.
