RUBY keeps complaining about my "end" statement

When I try and run a script that has this as part of it, RUBY keeps
complaining about my "end" statement. Can someone please help me with
this? What's its problem with it?

Thanks.

ps2kfiles =
Dir.glob("{aacmc7,acm059,acm061,acmc59,acmt59,adc064,adm064,cbncc7,

ps2kfiles.each do |ps2kfile|
  ftp = Net::FTP.open('quark.bna.com')
  ftp.login('pb4072','retep1')
  ftp.chdir('/home/pb4072')
  #ftp.chdir('/prod/data/pdf/index-wip')
  ftp.putbinaryfile(#{ps2kfile})
end

Someone forgot quotes around his string interpolation. Of course its not really needed here

ftp.putbinaryfile(ps2kfile)

Just staring at it, perhaps you meant:
ftp.putbinaryfile("#{ps2kfile}")

ruby is interpreting the # as a comment, since it's not within a string.
Try this:

     ftp.putbinaryfile(ps2kfile)

Explanation: you do not need interpolation here, the variable
'ps2kfile' does hold the value you want already.

Oh, and you might want to change your password(s), if they are real.

HTH,

You're absolutely right. I put quotes in and it worked. But, I don't
quite get it. I don't remember having to put them in before. Whatever .

Thanks!

Yes, that worked. Thank you. I don't know why it needs the quotes, but,
I'll accept it.

That worked. And, it is simpler. It's not a string, anyway, so, why
would I need the #{}s, right? Thank you! No, those aren't my
credentials. That's a fake password and credentials.
