test_tools_ftptools failed with ftplib.error_proto about rsgislib HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for this. How did you install RSGISLib? Did you install via conda / conda-forge?

Looks like the error is coming from the python installation dependencies. What happens if you just import the ftplib from the python prompt?

Hi,
I built the package from source with the make arguments:

cmake \
    -D Python_ROOT_DIR:FILEPATH=/usr \
    -D Python_FIND_STRATEGY=LOCATION \
    -D CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK=NEVER \
    -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr \
    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
    -D BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include \
    -D BOOST_LIB_PATH=/usr/lib \
    -D GDAL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include \
    -D GDAL_LIB_PATH=/usr/lib \
    -D HDF5_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include \
    -D HDF5_LIB_PATH=/usr/lib \
    -D GSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include \
    -D GSL_LIB_PATH=/usr/lib \
    -D MUPARSER_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include \
    -D MUPARSER_LIB_PATH=/usr/lib \
    -D KEA_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include \
    -D KEA_LIB_PATH=/usr/lib \
    -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -D CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON
  make

Importing ftplib in python console works without any errors.
However, I found that it returns the same message when I used ftp command in the terminal with the pytest FTP profiles:

So the problem might not be the Python issue but something else.

Hi,
I thought it was because I didn't install vsftpd, but after I installed and enable the service, it still shows the same result:

It feels like a server issue. Could you please also test if it works on your side?

Hi,

Well the error is coming from the vsftpd build on your system and not rsgislib so I guess I would have a couple of questions/comments:

1. do you need the ftp tools which are in rsgislib? They are just a few python functions for helping to download data from ftp servers so probably not. In which case you can just ignore this error and get on as this error won’t effect you.
2. have you tried the conda-forge build? That is the easiest way to install rsgislib and might be easier?
3. Have you googled the error message? From the quick search I just did it sounds like it might even be a error which occurs when there is a firewall issue (I.e., the ftp server can’t be reached). If you really want to check the issue out you might want to try just accessing the test service I’m using here though the terminal ftp client and see what happens. If there is another ftp service which you can access you could change the test to you that server.

Thanks for the suggestions. I probably don't need the FTP functions so I can probably live with it. I tried the conda build on another Ubuntu machine, but the pytest on ftptool still ended with the same result, so that's why I speculate that might be the FTP server issue, though I couldn't find other public FTP services for testing. I tried disabling my system firewall too but ended with the same result. Tried the ftp command from terminal on both Ubuntu and Manjaro Linux and all got the same result
