Troubleshooting Common FTP Errors When Using PyArrow: A Step-by-Step Guide
This error occurs when the FTP server attempts to transfer a file and fails due to an issue with the connection. The stacktrace suggests that the problem lies in the FTP protocol itself, specifically in the parse227 function. This function is used to parse the ‘227’ response from the FTP server, which contains information about the host address and port number. The error message indicates that the response does not contain the expected ‘(h1,h2,h3,h4,p1,p2)’ format, which suggests a problem with the FTP server’s response.
