<p>This module defines the class <a class="reference internal" href="#ftplib.FTP" title="ftplib.FTP"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">FTP</span></tt></a> and a few related items. The
<a class="reference internal" href="#ftplib.FTP" title="ftplib.FTP"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">FTP</span></tt></a> class implements the client side of the FTP protocol.  You can use
this to write Python programs that perform a variety of automated FTP jobs, such
as mirroring other ftp servers.  It is also used by the module <a class="reference internal" href="urllib.html#module-urllib" title="urllib: Open an arbitrary network resource by URL (requires sockets)."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">urllib</span></tt></a> to

<dd><p>Initiate a transfer over the data connection.  If the transfer is active, send a
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EPRT</span></tt> or  <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PORT</span></tt> command and the transfer command specified by <em>cmd</em>, and
accept the connection.  If the server is passive, send a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EPSV</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PASV</span></tt>
command, connect to it, and start the transfer command.  Either way, return the
socket for the connection.</p>
<p>If optional <em>rest</em> is given, a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REST</span></tt> command is sent to the server, passing
<em>rest</em> as an argument.  <em>rest</em> is usually a byte offset into the requested file,
telling the server to restart sending the file&#8217;s bytes at the requested offset,
skipping over the initial bytes.  Note however that RFC 959 requires only that
<em>rest</em> be a string containing characters in the printable range from ASCII code
33 to ASCII code 126.  The <a class="reference internal" href="#ftplib.FTP.transfercmd" title="ftplib.FTP.transfercmd"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">transfercmd()</span></tt></a> method, therefore, converts
<em>rest</em> to a string, but no check is performed on the string&#8217;s contents.  If the
server does not recognize the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REST</span></tt> command, an <a class="reference internal" href="#ftplib.error_reply" title="ftplib.error_reply"><tt class="xref py py-exc docutils literal"><span class="pre">error_reply</span></tt></a> exception
