Hi Sean, I can list files from ftp but whenever I try to upload data it freezes for some time and throws this error.
ConnectionResetError: [Errno 54] Connection reset by peer

I checked the network and connection everything is ok and it runs smoothly while running from filezilla but doesn't work in python

Hi Sean, whenever I try to retrieve data /upload files
I get this error-->"522 Data connection must use cached TLS session"
Will be helpful if you can throw some light on this

Great video! I have a set of 5 files(format: file_name1_datestamp(dd-mm-yyyy), that I need to download every day. How would you go about only pulling the latest files from the ftp server? I didn't find yet a good solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
