Before you hit the debugger, it might be a good idea to just run the
script normally, either at the command line, or inside IDLE/Pythonwin.
Doing so will spit out:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'ftplib' is not defined
Because you imported with:
from ftplib import FTP"
you don't need to prepend the module name before you call FTP. If you
do "import ftplib" instead, then it will work. Conversely, if you
call with just "FTP("ftp.website.com") it will also work.
It's really a personal choice which you do, but the second choice is
safer, as it has no chance of polluting your module's namespace if you
accidentally call something FTP.
Also, I noticed when pasting into IDLE that you have mismatched quotes:
ftp.login('user', 'pwd') # user, passwd
Using IDLE/Pythonwin will catch problems like that.
Good luck,
Andrew
