There was a thread about this in this newsgroup around 05/03/1999 and
G. van Rossum posted a readable solution (which does what you'd expect)
which I use in my ftpupdater app
http://www.noether.freeserve.co.uk/kftpupdater/
 
IIRC there were also a faster (but less readable) solution posted by
the F-bot. Either check out deja (does it go back that far?) or snarf
Guido's solution from my app.
