# A simple FTP client.
#
# The information to write this program was gathered from RFC 959,
# but this is not a complete implementation! Yet it shows how a simple
# FTP client can be built, and you are welcome to extend it to suit
# it to your needs...
#
# How it works (assuming you've read the RFC):
#
# User commands are passed uninterpreted to the server. However, the
# user never needs to send a PORT command. Rather, the client opens a
# port right away and sends the appropriate PORT command to the server.
# When a response code 150 is received, this port is used to receive
# the data (which is written to stdout in this version), and when the
# data is exhausted, a new port is opened and a corresponding PORT
# command sent. In order to avoid errors when reusing ports quickly
# (and because there is no s.getsockname() method in Python yet) we
# cycle through a number of ports in the 50000 range.
