Using Python’s ftplib to get a directory listing, portably

by

Try using ftp.nlst(dir).

However, note that if the folder is empty, it might throw an error:

files = []

try:
    files = ftp.nlst()
except ftplib.error_perm as resp:
    if str(resp) == "550 No files found":
        print "No files in this directory"
    else:
        raise

for f in files:
    print f
