net::FTP fails me (newbe question)

ruby-talk
1

I am running ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32] on winXp SP2+ and using ruby to do a bunch of website formatting maintenance and general tidying up. The last step is to send the changed files to the site. All of the files end up truncated! the code bloc I am using is: (names and places changed to protect the innocent)

if changed != {}
   print "Send to web site? [Y,n]"
   a = $stdin.gets.chomp
   if a =~ /^y.*/i || a == ''
     ftp = Net::FTP.new('website.place')
     ftp.login('name','password')
     ftp.chdir('www/fileplace')
     changed.each_key {|f|
       print f
       ftp.puttextfile(f)
       puts ": " + ftp.size(f).to_s + " of #{changed[f]}"
     }
     ftp.close
   end
end

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I changed "ftp.puttextfile(f)" to "ftp.putbinaryfile(f,f,1024)"
even though they are text files, and the transfer works!

Thanks
