ftplib

ftplib is a set of routines that implement the FTP protocol. They allow applications to create and access remote files through function calls instead of needing to fork and exec an interactive ftp client program.

ftplib has been built and tested on Linux (X86 and AXP), VMS (VAX and AXP), OSF/1 (now Digital Unix), and Windows NT (X86 and AXP).
