This is the code I run (python 3.3)
host = ...
user = ...
passwd = ...
from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP(host, user, passwd)
ftp.mkd(b'NewDir')
ftp.rmd(b'NewDir')
This is the traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ftp-problem", line 9, in <module>
ftp.mkd(b'NewDir')
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/ftplib.py", line 612, in mkd
resp = self.voidcmd('MKD ' + dirname)
TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly
The problem is that I do something like this in a backup program.
I don't know the locales that other people use. So I manipulate
all file and directory names as bytes.
Am I doing something wrong?
