Answer 1

you can use a list. example

import ftplib
server="localhost"
user="user"
password="test@email.com"
try:
    ftp = ftplib.FTP(server)    
    ftp.login(user,password)
except Exception,e:
    print e
else:    
    filelist = [] #to store all files
    ftp.retrlines('LIST',filelist.append)    # append to list  
    f=0
    for f in filelist:
        if "public_html" in f:
            #do something
            f=1
    if f==0:
        print "No public_html"
        #do your processing here
