drb-driver-ftp 1.3.1

DRB Ftp driver

Ftp driver

This drb-driver-ftp module implements ftp protocol access with DRB data model.

Ftp Factory and Ftp Node

The module implements the factory model defined in DRB in its node resolver. Based on the python entry point mechanism, this module can be dynamically imported into applications.

The entry point group reference is drb.driver.
The driver name is ftp.
The factory class is encoded into drb.driver.ftp.
The ftp signature id is d61c923a-5f1b-11ec-bf63-0242ac130002

The Ftp can be instantiated from an uri. The ParsedPath class provided in drb core module can help to manage these inputs.

Using this module

The project is present in https://www.pypi.org service. it can be freely loaded into projects with the following command line:

pip install drb-driver-ftp

Access Data

DrbFtpNode manages the ftp protocol to access remote data. The construction parameter is an url with the host and an authentication object. Both FTP and FTPS are supported. They allow access the ftp content.

from drb.drivers.ftp import DrbFtpNode
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

node = DrbFtpNode("URL", "HOST", auth=HTTPBasicAuth("username", "password"))

Ftp protocol allows navigation inside the ftp server. To do so this driver is able to provide children of the same FTP type.

Authentication

FTP node is able to manage Basic authentication based on username and password, as well as TLS ans SSL authentication by using the FTP_TLS.auth().
This method set up a secure control connection. By default, the node will try to connect with the SSL protocol if you want to change protocol you have to give You can find all the version of TLS and SSL supported here https://docs.python.org/3/library/ftplib.html#ftplib.FTP_TLS.ssl_version

Limitations

None
