ftplib.FTP.retrlines()

FTP.retrlines(cmd, callback=None)

Retrieve a file or directory listing in ASCII transfer mode. cmd should be an appropriate RETR command (see retrbinary()) or a command such as LIST or NLST (usually just the string 'LIST'). LIST retrieves a list of files and information about those files. NLST retrieves a list of file names. The callback function is called for each line with a string argument containing the line with the trailing CRLF stripped. The default callback prints the line to sys.stdout.
