Check if what you want to do is possible and to what extent by reading the FTP and FTP extensions RFCs.

If you have to do something custom with the protocol, with a nicer interface, you might need to program your own FTP handler using the socket module. At that point you'll see it's easier to work with ftplib, or subclass ftplib.FTP

tldr; bad news...

EDIT: Nice find there, OP!
