With `aioftp` in Python, how can I recursively list all files in an FTP folder?

Question

With aioftp in Python, I want to recursively list all files in an FTP folder.

What's the best way to do that? How can a recursive function be constructed to do that?

Here is my first attempt, which does not work:

import aioftp
import asyncio

async def async_list_all_files(
    host: str, username: str, password: str, path: str = "/"
) -> list[str]:
    async def list_files_recursive_parallel(client: aioftp.Client, path: str = "") -> list[str]:
        task_queue: list[asyncio.Future] = []
        file_list: list[str] = []

        async for entry in client.list(path):
            entry_full_path: str = entry[0].as_posix()

            # Entry metadata (type hint added)
            entry_metadata: dict[str, str | int] = entry[1]

            # Handle files and directories
            if entry_metadata["type"] == "file":
                file_list.append(entry_full_path)
            elif entry_metadata["type"] == "dir":
                task_queue.append(
                    asyncio.ensure_future(list_files_recursive_parallel(client, entry_full_path))
                )
            else:
                raise ValueError(
                    f"Unknown file type: {entry_metadata['type']} from entry='{entry}'"
                )

        # Process the task queue
        if task_queue:
            results = await asyncio.gather(*task_queue, return_exceptions=True)
            for result in results:
                if isinstance(result, list):
                    file_list.extend(result)
                else:
                    logger.warning(f"Error during task: {result}")

        return file_list

    async def main() -> list[str]:
        client = aioftp.Client()

        await client.connect(host)
        await client.login(username, password)

        # Fetch all files recursively
        return await list_files_recursive_parallel(client, path)

    # Run the asynchronous `main` function and return results
    return await main()


ftp_file_list = asyncio.run(
    async_list_all_files(
        host=creds["host"],
        username=creds["username"],
        password=creds["password"],
    )
)
