FTP using Ruby

By: Jeya Printer Friendly Format    

This class implements the File Transfer Protocol. If you have used a command-line FTP program, and are familiar with the commands, you will be able to use this class easily. Some extra features are included to take advantage of Ruby’s style and strengths.

Example

  require 'net/ftp'

Example 1

  ftp = Net::FTP.new('ftp.netlab.co.jp')
  ftp.login
  files = ftp.chdir('pub/lang/ruby/contrib')
  files = ftp.list('n*')
  ftp.getbinaryfile('nif.rb-0.91.gz', 'nif.gz', 1024)
  ftp.close

Example 2

  Net::FTP.open('ftp.netlab.co.jp') do |ftp|
    ftp.login
    files = ftp.chdir('pub/lang/ruby/contrib')
    files = ftp.list('n*')
    ftp.getbinaryfile('nif.rb-0.91.gz', 'nif.gz', 1024)
  end
