class aioftp.Client(*, socket_timeout=None, read_speed_limit=None, write_speed_limit=None, path_timeout=None, path_io_factory=<class 'aioftp.pathio.PathIO'>, encoding='utf-8', ssl=None, parse_list_line_custom=None, passive_commands=('epsv', 'pasv'), **siosocks_asyncio_kwargs)

Bases: aioftp.client.BaseClient

FTP client.

Parameters

  • socket_timeout (float, int or None) – timeout for read operations

  • read_speed_limit – download speed limit in bytes per second

  • write_speed_limit – upload speed limit in bytes per second

  • path_timeout (float, int or None) – timeout for path-related operations (make directory, unlink file, etc.)

If ssl is a ssl.SSLContext object, this context is used to create the transport; if ssl is True, a default context returned from ssl.create_default_context() is used. Please look asyncio.loop.create_connection() docs.
