scrapy.core.downloader.handlers.ftp

An asynchronous FTP file download handler for scrapy which somehow emulates an http response.

FTP connection parameters are passed using the request meta field: - ftp_user (required) - ftp_password (required) - ftp_passive (by default, enabled) sets FTP connection passive mode - ftp_local_filename

• If not given, file data will come in the response.body, as a normal scrapy Response,

which will imply that the entire file will be on memory. - if given, file data will be saved in a local file with the given name This helps when downloading very big files to avoid memory issues. In addition, for convenience the local file name will also be given in the response body.

The status of the built html response will be, by default - 200 in case of success - 404 in case specified file was not found in the server (ftp code 550)

or raise corresponding ftp exception otherwise

The matching from server ftp command return codes to html response codes is defined in the CODE_MAPPING attribute of the handler class. The key 'default' is used for any code that is not explicitly present among the map keys. You may need to overwrite this mapping if want a different behaviour than default.

In case of status 200 request, response.headers will come with two keys:

'Local Filename' - with the value of the local filename if given 'Size' - with size of the downloaded data
