I need to move a directory tree (~9GB) from one machine to another on
the same LAN. What's the best (briefest and most portable) way to do
this in Python?
I see that urllib has some support for getting files by FTP, but that it
has some trouble distinguishing files from directories.
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib.html
"The code handling the FTP protocol cannot differentiate
between a file and a directory."
I tried it anyway, but got an authentication problem. I don't see a
"how to log into the FTP server" section on docs.python.org. Is there a
tutorial I should read?
I am particularly looking for a quick, "good enough" solution that I can
use this afternoon. Thanks in advance to any kind-hearted soul who
chooses to help me out.
