[Python] How do I recursively search for a file in an FTP server using Python? [closed]

I need to find a file with a specific text in a section of its name to download. How can I recursively search using Python's FTP library?

I know you can list files and directories with .nlst(). The issue is recursion. I am unsure how to check for a file that has a title containing a certain string recursively.

Example:

I have an ftp server multiple layers deep:

folder a
---> folder aa
---> folder aaa
---> folder aaa
---> ---> randomstringoftext1341341-fileishere.pdf
folder b
---> folder bb
---> folder bbb
---> folder bbbb
---> ---> someotherfile.pdf
---> folder bbbbb



I need to find and download randomstringoftext1341341-fileishere.pdf but all I have is 1341341.

Can I iterate over values in .nlst() to find a file containing 1341341 to download?
