sending custom ftp commands with python ftplib

Question

I'm working with a propriety system that has implemented custom FTP commands. Specifically the command that I'm interested in takes 5 arguments , is it possible to use the python ftplib to send such a complex command?

ftp.sendcmd()

The function above does not appear to be capable of send this complex command.

In my example, the function looks like this:

SITE_CUSTOM_CMD(args1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5)

I'm new to python so your feedback is very welcomed.

To send your own command use FTP.sendcmd. This function takes a single argument which is the whole command string. Arguments are separated by spaces in FTP commands, i.e.

ftp.sendcmd(" ".join([cmd, args1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5]))
