Method Name:
quit
Method Signature:
quit()
Return Value:
- Upon successfully closing the connection, it returns an FTP message 221 Goodbye.
- Upon failure to gracefully quit the connection, an exception is raised.
Overview:
- The quit() method gracefully closes the FTP connection with the server.
- Once quit() is called, the FTP object can not be used by calling the connect() method again.
- The quit() method internally sends the QUIT command to the FTP server.
Example:
|
# Example Python program that uses quit() method # to close a connection with the FTP server from ftplib import FTP
