FTp timeout except

[korenron]

Hello
I'm uploading a script file to a server
which casue the server to reboot ( which is what I want )
how do I make the python ignore it? and say it's OK?
If I get not reply in 20 seconds continue ?

Is this enough?

 ftp = FTP(routerIP, timeout=20)

or I need to catch some exception?

this is what I have on the code:

except Exception as e:
            print('my error')
            print(e)

and I see I get this on the print out

my error
timed out

for me it's not an error
Thanks,

If you don't expect a response why are you waiting 20 seconds instead of something shorter?

You should only capture exceptions you want to handle. The FTP timeout is a socket timeout.

from ftplib import FTP
import socket

try:
    ftp = FTP("whatever", timeout=1)
    ftp.login()
except socket.timeout:  # I expect a timeout.  I want other exceptions to crash and give me a trace
    pass
print("All done")

I thought that the timeout=20 is for that reason
meaning that if no reply after 20 , is good and continue

I will try what you wrote

Thanks,
