ftplib errors/exceptions
I'm new to Python and I am writing a simple FTP client. I am having trouble handling errors like connection refused, invalid username or password, and the like. I can use a try exception block like thistry: ftp=FTP('some_server')
ftp.login() # more linesexcept: print "An error has occured.\n"This works fine to supress the errors, but I would like to be able to narrow the errors down so that I can print 'invalid username or password' or 'connection refused' rather than simply 'An error has occured'. How would I go about narrowing down which errors occur?
Thanks in advance
