ftplib and retrbinary or retrlines (losing newline characters in my log files)

[aus stuff]

Hi am successfully downloading my text files and writing them to local files
 with either

ftp.retrlines('RETR ' + fl, fileObj.write)"

ftp.retrbinary('RETR <ftp://ftp.retrbinary('retr/> ' + fl, fileObj.write)

However all my recieved (log) files have lost thier newline characters?

Can anyone steer me in the right direction so my 'recieved log' files arent
all jumbled into one line?

(full code below)
any help appreciated :)
(excuse my newbie code copying )

Special thanks to the person/s whom originally made this code (found on
google)
