You could role your own like this:-



#!/usr/local/bin/python
# ftp.py ....

import ftplib, sys


if sys.argv[1]=='-g':
    # get it is!
    action='GET'

elif sys.argv[1]=='-s':
    # send (aka PUT)
    action='PUT'

else:
    print """USAGE:  
    to get a file from server:-
    ftp.py -g remote_file_name local_file_name 
    to put a file on server:-
    ftp.py -s remote_file_name local_file_name 
    """
    sys.exit()



filename=sys.argv[2]
localfile=sys.argv[3]

ftp=ftplib.FTP('Some.Server.Somewhere')
ftp.login('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD')
ftp.set_debuglevel(0)

if action=='GET':
    lfile=open(localfile, 'wb')
    def store_local(data):
        lfile.write(data)
    ftp.retrbinary('RETR %s' %filename, store_local, 32768)
else:
    ftp.storbinary('STOR %s' %filename, open(localfile, 'rb'), 32768)
