I keep getting errors with this simple ftp script. Real names and passwords have been changed to protect the innocent.

Thanks a lot, Jamey. I used the latter. Now, what if I want to remove the file after I've ftp'd it? The variable "file100" wouldn't apply anymore, so, could I do a FileUtils.rm with the same File.basename string as the ftp?

Uh, I figured it out. Thanks, Jamey. I realized that "file100" was still perfectly valid for the original filenames, so, I didn't need anything fancy. -Peter > **···** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/\](http://www.ruby-forum.com/%5C).
