Can I add timeout for ftpslib connection?

Question

Can I add timepout for ftps connection and each command on ftp server ?

r  = ftpslib.FTP_TLS()
...

docs.python.org/library/ftplib.html I think this only applies to the connection phase. Did not use this library on my own so I can't say if the other operations are blocking. — Nobody moving away from SE

In python >= 2.6, the timeout option has been added to FTPconstructor. It will be used for each blocking operation (ie connection, receive, sending...). In python >= 2.7, the FTP_TLS object has been added (with timeout).

In python < 2.7, you'll have to modify the default global timeout on socket module with socket.setdefaulttimeout(timeout) before creating the FTP or FTP_TLS object.
