    connection.set_pasv(False)

But its g开发者_开发问答iving me following error: socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed.. can somebody plz help me out with this.

You need to specify the port as a separate argument, not in the way you have it in remotesite. Try:

remotesite = '10.88.203.21'
port = 22
connection = ftplib.FTP(remotesite, port)

See the FTP docs for more information.

If its port 22, then you are using wrong port, since most systems use 22 for SSH protocol. Assuming that 22 is normal SSH port, you should really use scp/sftp. (try paramiko for Python). If you are sure the remote server is running FTP, then use the default port 21.
