Would somebody please try this on Linux for me. It works fine on Windows but hangs on Fedora.
Thanks,
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'net/ftp'
def getMetar(id)
metar = Array.new
i = 0
ftp = Net::FTP.new('tgftp.nws.noaa.gov')
puts ftp.login
puts ftp.sendcmd('PASV')
ftp.chdir('/data/observations/metar/stations')
ftp.gettextfile("#{id.upcase}.TXT") do |line|
metar[i] = line
i = i + 1
end
ftp.close
return metar
end
puts getMetar("KBFL")

Works for me!

I ran this script:
true && (
set -x
cat /etc/issue.net
ruby -v
cat ftp.rb
./ftp.rb
) >& output.txt
Here's the content of output.txt:
$ cat output.txt
+ cat /etc/issue.net
Ubuntu 7.10
+ ruby -v

end
ftp.close

Thanks very much, any ideas why it doesn't for me?

Not a clue, I'm afraid. You'll need to dig deeper into what's happening on
the network, probably.
Cheers,

Step one: install a command line FTP client. I use "lftp", but there are others. Then type
lftp tgftp.nws.noaa.gov
lftp tgftp.nws.noaa.gov:~>
If you don't get that prompt, there's something disconnected between your client and the server. You'll need to talk to your network adminstrator to diagnose what's broken.
But if you *do* get the prompt, the network is working but the Ruby client isn't. There's probably something wrong with your Ruby installation. Reinstall Ruby. Try again
You might want to "gem install ruby-debug", put this at the top of your
program:
require 'ruby-debug'
Debugger.start
debugger #start irb
...and then use "s" to step through each line and see exactly
where the hang-up is. Might be a threading issue.

The command line client works just fine. I removed and reinstalled ruby and the problem still exists. Is there some library I have to install too for the FTP class?

Les:
I tried this but get the following error
metar.rb:6:in `require': no such file to load -- ruby-debug (LoadError)
from metar.rb:6
There is no ruby-debug package that I can find for Fedora. I tried loading rubygems.noarch but that didn't help. There has to be something simple I'm missing here, I just don't know what it is.
Thanks,
