| name | ftpc-storage-write |
| description | Full read-write access to remote storage backends (local, FTP, SFTP, S3, Azure). Upload files, delete files, create directories, in addition to listing and downloading. Use when you need to modify files on cloud storage, FTP servers, or remote filesystems. |
FTPC Storage (Full Access)
Use the ftpc library to read and write files across storage backends.
This skill can modify remote storage. Confirm destructive operations with the user.
Supported Backends
| Protocol | URL Format | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Local | file:///path or /path |
/home/user/data |
| FTP | ftp://[user:pass@]host[:port]/path |
ftp://ftp.example.com/pub |
| FTPS | ftps://[user:pass@]host[:port]/path |
ftps://secure.example.com |
| SFTP | sftp://[user:pass@]host[:port]/path |
sftp://user:pass@host/data |
| S3 | s3://bucket/path |
s3://my-bucket/folder |
| Azure Data Lake | azure://account.dfs.core.windows.net/fs/path |
azure://myacct.dfs.core.windows.net/data |
| Azure Blob | blob://account.blob.core.windows.net/container/path |
blob://myacct.blob.core.windows.net/files |
Quick Start
from ftpc import connect_sync
with connect_sync("s3://my-bucket") as store:
# List files
files = store.list("/")
# Download
store.download("/data.csv", "local.csv")
# Upload
store.upload("report.pdf", "/reports/report.pdf")
# Create directory
store.mkdir("/new-folder")
# Delete file
store.delete("/old-file.txt")
All Operations
List Directory
from ftpc import connect_sync
with connect_sync("ftp://ftp.example.com") as store:
files = store.list("/documents")
for f in files:
print(f"{f.name} {'DIR' if f.is_directory else f.size}")
Download File
with connect_sync("sftp://user:pass@host") as store:
store.download("/remote/file.csv", "local_file.csv")
# With progress callback
def progress(bytes_done: int) -> bool:
print(f"Downloaded {bytes_done} bytes")
return True # False cancels transfer
store.download("/large.zip", "out.zip", progress)
Upload File
with connect_sync("s3://my-bucket") as store:
store.upload("local_report.pdf", "/reports/2024/report.pdf")
# With progress
def progress(bytes_done: int) -> bool:
print(f"Uploaded {bytes_done} bytes")
return True
store.upload("large_backup.tar.gz", "/backups/backup.tar.gz", progress)
Create Directory
with connect_sync("ftp://ftp.example.com") as store:
success = store.mkdir("/new-directory")
if success:
print("Directory created")
Delete File
with connect_sync("s3://my-bucket") as store:
success = store.delete("/obsolete-file.txt")
if success:
print("File deleted")
Async Usage
import asyncio
from ftpc import Storage
async def main():
async with Storage.connect("s3://bucket") as store:
await store.upload("local.txt", "/remote.txt")
await store.mkdir("/new-dir")
await store.delete("/old.txt")
asyncio.run(main())
Named Constructors
from ftpc import Storage
# S3 with credentials
with Storage.s3(
bucket="my-bucket",
region="us-east-1",
access_key_id="AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE",
secret_access_key="wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"
).sync() as store:
store.upload("data.csv", "/uploads/data.csv")
# FTP with TLS
with Storage.ftp(
host="ftp.example.com",
username="user",
password="pass",
tls=True
).sync() as store:
store.upload("report.pdf", "/reports/report.pdf")
# SFTP with key auth
with Storage.sftp(
host="server.example.com",
username="deploy",
key_filename="/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa"
).sync() as store:
store.upload("deploy.tar.gz", "/var/releases/deploy.tar.gz")
# Azure Data Lake
with Storage.azure(
account_url="https://myaccount.dfs.core.windows.net",
filesystem="data",
account_key="your-account-key"
).sync() as store:
store.upload("dataset.parquet", "/datasets/dataset.parquet")
Using Named Remotes from Config
With ~/.ftpcconf.toml:
[prod-s3]
type = "s3"
bucket = "production-data"
region = "us-east-1"
from ftpc.config import Config
from ftpc.clients.s3client import S3Client
config = Config.from_file()
remote = config.remotes["prod-s3"]
with S3Client(bucket_name=remote.bucket, region_name=remote.region) as client:
client.put("local.csv", "/uploads/data.csv")
FileDescriptor Structure
All list() calls return List[FileDescriptor]:
@dataclass
class FileDescriptor:
path: PurePath # Full path
filetype: FileType # FILE or DIRECTORY
size: Optional[int] # Bytes (None for dirs)
modified_time: Optional[datetime]
@property
def name(self) -> str # Filename only
@property
def is_file(self) -> bool
@property
def is_directory(self) -> bool
