Hi, i was wondering whether someone can point me whether the following already exists.
I want to connect to a server , download various files (for whose name i want to be able to use a wildcard), and store those files in a given location on the hard drive. If the file already exists i do not want to download it. This seems fairly trivial and i would assume that there should be some sort of implementation that does this easily but i didn't find anything googling it. Otherwise i was going to do it "by hand" using ftplib: 1) connect to server, 2) change to directory on server 3) get listing 4) match the file pattern i want to the listing 5) check if file already exists 6) download file if matched and doesn't exist Can anyone offer any advice whether this already done somewhere? thanks matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
