Python ftplib Library is not working for localhost

I have used ftplib library to connect with server to push and pull file. It works fine with server but it generate error when i try to connect with localhost on port 21 or 22. 

self.client.connect(self.host,self.port)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ftplib.py", line 138, in connect

    self.welcome = self.getresp()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ftplib.py", line 215, in getresp

    resp = self.getmultiline()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ftplib.py", line 205, in getmultiline

    nextline = self.getline()


  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ftplib.py", line 191, in getline

if not line: raise EOFError
EOFError

You have to follow below step in order to allow localhost connection in ftplib

1. Install vsftpd if it is not installed
2. Configure vsftpd.cofig file
3. set anonymous_enable to YES
4. Restart vsftpd service

Now you can use ftplib library for loaclhost to push and pull file from local FTP.
