<p>I was wondering if anybody could point me towards a free ftps module for python.</p>

<p>I am a complete newbie to python, but this is something I need for a work project. I need an ftps client to connect to a 3rd party ftps server.</p>

<p>thanks,</p>

I haven't tried it myself (yes, I just used Google and followed some links), but
http://www.lag.net/paramiko/
seems to be the recommended solution. From a cursory glance, it's an SSH implementation in pure Python, which allows tunneling for things like FTP.
Update: a commenter pointed out that I mixed up sftp and ftps, sorry. I still suggest at least investigating Paramiko briefly to see if it matches the requirements.
