.. method:: FTP.retrbinary(cmd, callback, blocksize=8192, rest=None)
- Retrieve a file in binary transfer mode. *cmd* should be an appropriate
- ``RETR`` command: ``'RETR filename'``. The *callback* function is called for
- each block of data received, with a single bytes argument giving the data
- block. The optional *blocksize* argument specifies the maximum chunk size to
- read on the low-level socket object created to do the actual transfer (which
- will also be the largest size of the data blocks passed to *callback*). A
- reasonable default is chosen. *rest* means the same thing as in the
- :meth:`transfercmd` method.
