FTPLIB fails to retreive the remote file

[Hrusikesa Patro]

Hi All,

I'm trying to download a remote file through FTP. Here's the script:

###############################################################
#!/usr/bin/env python
import ftplib
import os
import time

ddir="C:\\ftp"
os.chdir(ddir)
f=ftplib.FTP("10.2.2.1", "user", "user123")
f.cwd("/home/protocol/cccdb/dumps/")

# define filename
day=time.strftime("%Y.%d.%m")
file2="mq20-%s-cdbdump.xml.md5" % (day)

#To debug
pwd = f.pwd()
print pwd
print file2

# get the remote file to the local directory
f.retrbinary('RETR %s' % file2, open(file2,"wb").write)
f.close()
###############################################################


*Output:*
>>> execfile("ftp.py")
/home/protocol/cccdb/dumps
mq20-2007.07.06-cdbdump.xml.md5
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "ftp.py", line 44, in ?
    f.retrbinary('RETR %s' % file2, open(file2,"wb").write)
  File "t:\Python23\lib\ftplib.py", line 379, in retrbinary
    conn = self.transfercmd(cmd, rest)
  File "t:\Python23\lib\ftplib.py", line 345, in transfercmd
    return self.ntransfercmd(cmd, rest)[0]
  File "t:\Python23\lib\ftplib.py", line 324, in ntransfercmd
    conn.connect(sa)
  File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.error: (10060, 'Operation timed out')
>>>

What's gone wrong?

Rgs,
Hrusi
