is there a simple way to do this?the FTP protocol doesn't specify the format for the output from the LIST
ftplib seems unable to distinguish between files and dir, a mimetype
check would be good,
command, so you have to use some heuristics; see e.g. the code in
http://svn.python.org/projects/pytho...s/ftpmirror.py
or use a wrapper for Dan Bernstein's ftpparse library (requires a C
compiler):
http://cr.yp.to/ftpparse.html
http://c0re.23.nu/c0de/ftpparsemodule/
http://effbot.org/downloads/#ftpparse
Not sure what you mean by "mimetype"; that has nothing to do with
directories vs. files, afaik.
