Proxies in Python FTP application

Question

I\'m developing an FTP client in Python ftplib. How do I add proxies support to it (most FTP apps I have seen seem to have it)? I\'m especially thinking about SOCKS proxies,

Answer 1

You can use the ProxyHandler in urllib2.

ph = urllib2.ProxyHandler( { 'ftp' : proxy_server_url } )
server= urllib2.build_opener( ph )
