Code:
def startConnection(self):
from ftplib import FTP
self.ftp = FTP(self.loginServer)
print 'Loging In'
print self.ftp.login(self.username, self.password)
data = []
self.ftp.dir(data.append)
#self.ftp.sendcmd('LIST')
for line in data:
try:
self.date_str = ' '.join(line.split()[5:8])
#newDate = datetime.datetime.strptime(self.date_str,'%b %d %H:%M')
newDate = time.strptime(self.date_str,'%b %d %H:%M')
print newDate
col_list = line.split()
name = col_list[0]
tempDir = {}
if name.startswith('d'):
tempDir['directory'] = newDate
else:
tempDir['file']=newDate
self.dirInfo[col_list[8]] = tempDir
except:
print "**********Exception for line **********\n" + line + "\n**********Exception End**********"
newDate value is Aug 20 11:12, but year is missing,
so Bydefault year value it is taking 1900, which is not correct.
To debug it, i logged in ftp server and did dir / ls in both the cases it is showing timestamp like 'Aug 20 11:12'. But if i do ls -lTr, in that case it is showing year,
what i want is some how i can pass above command to ftp and get the result.
Is there any python ftplib module's function that can do this.
