Well, I don't know why this had to be harder than it currently is.
01.ftp = ftplib.FTP(self.get_ftp_host(), username, password)02.ftp.cwd("/path/to/files/")03.files = list_files(ftp)04.print files05. 06.def list_files(ftp_connection):07. files = []08. 09. def dir_callback(line):10. bits = line.split()11. 12. if ('d' not in bits[0]):13. files.append(bits[-1])14. 15. ftp_connection.dir(dir_callback)16. return files
Great success!
