title: Python-FTP download all files in directory
body: <p>I'm putting together a script to download all the files from a directory via FTP. So far I have managed to connect and fetch one file, but I cannot seem to make to work in batch (get all the files from the directory) Here is what I have so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from ftplib import FTP
  import os, sys, os.path
  
  def handleDownload(block):
      file.write(block)
      print ".",
  
  ddir='C:\\Data\\test\\'
  os.chdir(ddir)
  ftp = FTP('test1/server/')
  
  print 'Logging in.'
  ftp.login('user1\\anon', 'pswrd20')
  directory = '\\data\\test\\'
  
  print 'Changing to ' + directory
  ftp.cwd(directory)
  ftp.retrlines('LIST')
  
  print 'Accessing files'
  
  for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(directory):
      for file in files: 
          full_fname = os.path.join(root, fname);  
          print 'Opening local file ' 
          ftp.retrbinary('RETR C:\\Data\\test\\' + fname,
                         handleDownload,
                         open(full_fname, 'wb'));
          print 'Closing file ' + filename
          file.close();
  ftp.close()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I bet you can tell that it does not do much when I run it, so any suggestions for improvements would be greatly appreciated.</p>
