I have the first part I believe which is this:
Now to download these I'm getting stuck.
What do i do to start downloading these? I'm embarrassed to put my code for this up cause i'm sure it makes no sense, but here goes.
I need to download a list of files everyday. These files have the dates in the filenames and I need to pull from 1 - 7 days out.
I have the first part I believe which is this:
import datetime as dt today = dt.date.today() dates = [] for i in range(7): dates.append(f'ba{str(today + dt.timedelta(days=i))[2:]}.tif'.replace('-', '')) print(dates) import ftplib from ftplib import FTP import os # ftp info HOSTNAME = "ftp.thsite.com" USERNAME = "myuser" PASSWORD = "mypass" savedir = "c:/temp" os.chdir(savedir) # connect ftp = FTP(HOSTNAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD) ftp.cwd("/Comic_Strips/Baldo")This returns me a list like this: ['ba220621.tif', 'ba220622.tif', 'ba220623.tif', 'ba220624.tif', 'ba220625.tif', 'ba220626.tif', 'ba220627.tif']
Now to download these I'm getting stuck.
What do i do to start downloading these? I'm embarrassed to put my code for this up cause i'm sure it makes no sense, but here goes.
# where it falls off the rails... i obviously am on the wrong track here... fn = ("dates") file = open(dates, "wb") ftp.retrbinary("RETR %s" + dates, file.write)Appreciate any help out there!
