note: still use python job different module such ftputil
or other 1 out there.

the short solution: possibly run: "wget -r ftp://username:password@ftp.debian.org/debian/*" files under debian directory. can process files in python.
the long solution: can go on every directory listing using ftplib, getting directory listing parsing , getting every file , recursing directories. if search web you'd find previous posts on stackoverlow solve issue
