[Tutor] ftplib

[Andres Gelabert]

By all means:

from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP()
ftp.connect("OtherServer")
ftp.login("AccountOnOtherServer", "CorrespondingPassword")
ftp.cwd("DirectoryIWant")
ftp.retrbinary("retr DesiredFile", open("DesiredFile", "wb").write)

# The above results in the file's successful transfer
# Now, I try only one of the following, with the described respective errors

quit()
close()
sendcmd("bye")

ftp to transfer files from one NT server to another one.  The files transfer
successfully, but the quit() command produces "TypeError: call of
non-function (type string)," whereas close() and sendcmd('bye') produce
NameErrors.
