Hello,

 

Quick note, ftplib gives example host ftp.cwi.nl

 

In its documentation which is a url which is no longer active. when you try
the dummy example, ftplib doesn't really output a clear error so it might be
worth updating the host, (though most programmers should assume this
quickly),

 

Python 2.7 > documentation for ftplib which introduced the feature FTP_TLS
gives the examplehost ftp.python.org which is possibly the ideal candidate
for the change.

 

Not really a bug, thought id save you the trouble by reporting just incase,
it was something worth changing.

 

Cheers
