Download from FTP with Python - Pathname

I'm using the ftplib to connect to my FTP-server.

I want to download a file from my FTP-server to a specified directory on my computer. I have this simple code:

def download(ftp,file):
    f = open(file,"wb")
    ftp.retrbinary("RETR " + file,f.write)
    f.close()

What do I have to add to this code to download the file to my requested directory?

Thanks!

Update the call to open with the local path you want to write to. For example:

import os
def download(ftp,file, localdir):
    f = open(os.path.join(localdir, file),"wb")
    ftp.retrbinary("RETR " + file,f.write)
    f.close()
