How to replace a non routable IP address with server address on ftplib

Question

I\'m trying to use ftplib.FTP_TLS, but I can\'t list the directories.

Everything is OK with Filezilla, but when I\'m on iPython, it fails.

import ftplib

Suppose you know where to connect to. I think the key may be in this line 326:

325         if self.passiveserver:
326             host, port = self.makepasv()
--> 327             conn = socket.create_connection((host, port), self.timeout)
328             try:
329                 if rest is not None:

You can subclass and replace the makepasv() method and return the right address. Maybe you can use the output of filezilla or wireshark to get to know the right address.
