Something like this, perhaps?
# write all files in one folder, with formatted date and time, to a text file...
import ftplib
import datetime
from datetime import datetime
ftp = ftplib.FTP('ftp.yours.com', 'u_name', 'pswd')
#ftp.nlst()
#directory = ftp.nlst('/emm1/')
ftp.cwd('')
ftp.retrlines('LIST')
filenames = []
ftp.retrlines('NLST', filenames.append)
# writes file name and modified date and file size.
with open('C:\\your_path\\test.txt', 'w') as f:
for filename in filenames:
datetimeftp = ftp.sendcmd('MDTM ' + filename)
modifiedTimeFtp = datetime.strptime(datetimeftp[4:], "%Y%m%d%H%M%S").strftime("%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S")
size = ftp.size(filename)
filesize = "{:.2f}".format(size/(1024))
f.write(filename)
f.write(':')
f.write(modifiedTimeFtp)
f.write(':')
f.write(filesize + ' KB')
f.write('\n')
f.close()
Or, maybe this?

new_dirs = get_dirs_ftp(folder)
while len(new_dirs) > 0:
for dir in new_dirs:

old_dirs = new_dirs[:]
new_dirs = []
for dir in old_dirs:
for new_dir in get_dirs_ftp(dir):
new_dirs.append(new_dir)
dirs.sort()
return dirs
#allfiles = []
# get parent and child folders in directory
all_dirs = get_all_dirs_ftp()
# create a list to append metadata

ftp.cwd('/'+dir+'/')

# you probably want to dump the results to a file...
outF = open('C:/your_path/filenames.csv', 'w')
for line in dir_list:
# write line to output file

outF.write("\n")
outF.close()
print('Done!!')
