[ftputil] SECURE FTP

Thank you, Stephan

I downloaded M2Crypto module and tried to install it on our development Unix box. But, instalation does not start: I get ImportError exception that indicates that we do not have Parser module:

hbamwxd1:/export/home/vpogrebi/install/M2Crypt/m2crypto-0.13> python prodtest setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 12, in ?
    from distutils.core import setup, Extension
  File "/usr/project/arena/prods/python/2.2.1/lib/distutils/__init__.py", line 28, in ?
    from Parser import Parser as _Parser
ImportError: No module named Parser

I tried to find Parser on python.org and on Zope corp's website. But, I did not find it. Where can I get this module?

A Google query for

"secure ftp" python

turns up several hits which might be interesting.

Specially, M2Crypto, http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/m2/ , might be
what you need. As it seems, M2Crypto contains a secure FTP class which
inherits from ftplib.FTP. See
http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/Dist/api/public/M2Crypto.ftpslib-module.html

Note that you can pass any session class into ftputil's FTPHost class
(see "session_factory" and the Tips/FAQ section in the documentation)
if that session class is compatible with the ftplib.FTP class of
Python's standard library. If the ftpslib.FTP_TLS class in M2Crypto
does only almost what you need, you could derive from it and use that
as the session factory in ftputil.

Hope that helps. :)

Stefan
