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 am using the following lines to resolve missing directory paths for FTP file copy

import os
ftps = FTP_TLS('ftps_server')
ftps.connect()
ftps.login()

destination_dir_path = 'some/dir/path'          # directory path on FTP
dir_path = ''
for i in destination_dir_path.split('/'):
    dir_path = os.path.join(dir_path,i)
    if i not in ftps.nlst(os.path.dirname(dir_path)):
        ftps.mkd(dir_path)                      # create directory on the FTP
ftps.storbinary(...)                            # store file using the binary mode
