Python FTP Download - Only download 16 files from FTP not all the files from the ftp?

[precyoz]

Hello everyone. I'm encountering a problem with the python ftp download. Every time I run this script and connect to my ftp site it only downloads 16 files wherein the ftp site contains almost hundred files and counting because it always update and add files everyday. I'm wondering if is it because of the internet connection or maybe there's something missing in the script to enable me to download all those files that I really can't figure out. Any help/suggestions/comments will be appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the script:(some of it are from here http://code.activestate.com/recipes/...on-ftp-client/)

from ftplib import FTP
import os, sys, os.path, operator
import wx
 
host_name = raw_input("Enter your FTP Site: ")
if "http://" in host_name:
   host_name = host_name.replace("http://","")
host_name = host_name.replace("\n","")
user = raw_input("Enter username: ")
pwd = raw_input("Enter password: ")
 
try: ftph = FTP(host_name)
except:
   print "Host could not be resolved."
   raw_input()
   sys.exit()
else: pass
try:
   ftph.login(user,pwd)
except Exception:
   if user == "anonymous" or user == "Anonymous" and pwd == "anonymous" or pwd == "Anonymous":
      print "The server does not accept anonymous requests."
      raw_input()
      sys.exit()
   else:
      print "Invalid login combination."
      raw_input()
      sys.exit()
else:
   print "Successfully connected!\n"
print ftph.getwelcome()
flag = 1
count = 0
path = ftph.pwd()
charset = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890"
 
def handleDownload(block):
    file.write(block)
    print ".",
 
ddir='#localdirectory'
os.chdir(ddir)
ftp = FTP('#yourftpsite')
print 'Logged in!'
 
ftp.login('', '')
directory = '#ftpdirectory'
 
print 'Changing to ' + directory
ftp.cwd(directory)
ftp.retrlines('LIST')
print 'Downloading files...'
 
filenames = []
ftp.retrlines('NLST', filenames.append)
print filenames
 
for filename in filenames:
    local_filename = os.path.join('#localdirectory', filename)
    file = open(local_filename, 'wb')
    ftp.retrbinary('RETR '+ filename, file.write)
 
    file.close()
 
ftp.close()

ah, you ripped the stuff from this site:

What tries did you do yourself to find out if "the internet connection" is to blame,
or maybe there's something missing in "my script"
but it is not your script, you copied it from the above mentioned site......

That post from the link you've given was also from my post. Please check the username. So what maybe the problem of the script?Because I can't download all the files.

I've tried to run the script several times. There were times it disconnects but there were times that it is still downloading but then there were no added files downloaded in the local directory every time I'll check on it.
