[Jython-users] how to do a 'quote' command with ftplib

[Hubert Y. <yos...@da...>]

Hi there,
I'm still having problems doing a 'quote guardian' command.
just to hopefully clear up what I'm trying to do...here's what it looks
like when you are doing a manual ftp.

after you log on...
230 User <user-name> logged in. OSS API enabled.
ftp>
ftp> quote guardian
257 Guardian API enabled.
ftp> 

that is all I am wishing to do.

I have tried
ftpConnection.sendcmd('quote guardian')
ftpConnection.voidcmd('quote guardian')
ftpConnection.putcmd('quote guardian')

all of which returned something in the general lines of 
error_perm: 500 'QUOTE guardian': command not understood.

now I realize that if you do actually give a command that ftp server does
not understand as in 'quote bogusCommand' then it would return an error 500
saying basically what I described above. The weirdness of the whole
situation is that if I do it manually, it always works.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Hubert

Hi, I hope the following excerpt of a ftp session
with a server that does not understand the command guardian
and quote can help.

ftp> quote guardian
500 'GUARDIAN': command not understood.
ftp> quote quote guardian
500 'QUOTE guardian': command not understood.
ftp>

quote is a meta-command :)

regards

Hi there,
when you did quote guardian, the reason you got an error (GUARDIAN command
not understood) is because the 'guardian' part is only understood by the
Guardian OS....or rather on HP/Compaq Non-stop/Tandem platforms. Meaning
this won't work if you are ftp'ing to Unix land or Windows etc. But, you
probably already know that.
As for when you did quote quote guardian...well, guess what? You solved my
problem! :D Course you might have known that when you wrote this e-mail ;) 
I was looking at the error you were getting,
>500 'QUOTE guardian': command not understood.
when you did a 
>ftp> quote quote guardian
therefore by doing a 
sendcmd('quote guardian')
I was actually doing a quote quote guardian...
Man, I feel really dumb for not thinking of it sooner ;) When reading the
documentation for sendcmd/voidcmd/putline/putcmd I never thought that it
was doing the 'quote' for me already. Hehe, guess I was 'assuming' too much :)
In any case, problem solved (already tried it out). 
Thanks for giving me the answer! :)
And to everyone else (yrium, etc.) who helped out, Thanks! 
Hubert

This probably doesn't have too much to do with jython, but when I
encounter problems like that I usually use tcpdump or some similar
program to see what is actually sent between the client and the
server.

The ftp library might very well do some strange quoting or invalid
linefeed or something that ruins the command.

Hmm, why are you putting the word "quote" into sendcmd?  That's not
part of the protocol; it's just what some clients use to let you send
something verbatim to the remote...
