FTPlib

[Peter A. Schott]

Shouldn't that be:

srcFtp.retrbinary('get ' + file[2:])

or some similar variation?

You're also missing a block telling this where to write the local file.

LocalFile = file.open(file[2:], "wb")
LocalFile.write(srcFtp.retrbinary('get ' + file[2:]) )

(or something similar)
