Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

ftpretty

✓ from ftpretty import ftpretty

✗ import ftpretty

ftpretty is a class, not a module; incorrect import will lead to AttributeError.

Connect to an FTP server, download/upload files, and list directory contents.

from ftpretty import ftpretty f = ftpretty(host='ftp.example.com', user='username', password='password') f.get('remote_file.txt', 'local_file.txt') f.put('local_file.txt', 'remote_file.txt') print(f.list('/')) f.close()

Debug

Known issues

gotchaftpretty does not support FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) out of the box. Use Python's ftplib.FTP_TLS directly if you need secure FTP.

fix

Use ftplib.FTP_TLS or another library like Paramiko for SFTP.

affects: all

gotchaThe get() and put() methods overwrite files silently without warning. No confirmation or checksum verification.

fix

Check for existing files manually before calling get() or put().

affects: all

deprecatedftpretty uses Python's ftplib internally, which may not be available or may change in future Python versions. The library has not been updated since 2018.

fix

Consider migrating to a more active library like Paramiko or ftputil if you need ongoing support.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'ftpretty' has no attribute 'ftpretty'

Importing incorrectly as 'import ftpretty' instead of 'from ftpretty import ftpretty'.

fix

Use 'from ftpretty import ftpretty' to import the class.

ftpretty.ftpretty object has no attribute 'connect'

The connection is established when the object is created; there is no separate connect() method.

fix

Pass connection parameters directly to the constructor, e.g., ftpretty(host, user, password).
