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

I'm using something like this (without cwd):

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-

from ftplib import FTP, error_perm


def createDirs(ftp, dirpath):
    """
    Create dir with subdirs.

    :param ftp:     connected FTP
    :param dirpath: path (like 'test/test1/test2')

    :type ftp:      FTP
    :type dirpath:  str
    :rtype:         None

    """

    dirpath = dirpath.replace('\\', '/')
    tmp = dirpath.split('/')
    dirs = []

    for _ in tmp:
        if len(dirs) == 0:
            dirs.append(_)
            continue

        dirs.append(dirs[-1] + '/' + _)

    for _ in dirs:
        try:
            ftp.mkd(_)
        except error_perm as e:
            e_str = str(e)
            if '550' in e_str and 'File exists' in e_str:
                continue


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # init ftp
    createDirs(ftp=ftp, dirpath='test/1/2/3')
