Create missing directories in ftplib storbinary

Question

I was using pycurl to transfer files over ftp in python. I could create the missing directories automatically on my remote server using:

c.setopt(pycurl.FTP_CREA         


        

Answer 1

This code will create all missing folders in path:

...

def chdir(ftp_path, ftp_conn):
    dirs = [d for d in ftp_path.split('/') if d != '']
    for p in dirs:
        print(p)
        check_dir(p, ftp_conn)


def check_dir(dir, ftp_conn):
    filelist = []
    ftp_conn.retrlines('LIST', filelist.append)
    found = False

    for f in filelist:
        if f.split()[-1] == dir and f.lower().startswith('d'):
            found = True

    if not found:
        ftp_conn.mkd(dir)
    ftp_conn.cwd(dir)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    ftp_conn = ... # ftp connection
    t = 'FTP/for_Vadim/1/2/3/'

    chdir(t, ftp_conn)

This code will check all dirs in path and create missing dirs

before "FTP/for_Vadim/" after "FTP/for_Vadim/1/2/3/"
