Dear all,  
I wrote the following script to send some text file under one folder to  
FTP server, but, while I run it, I got a error message:

C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/ftp.rb:662:in `initialize': Permission  
denied - E:\Dev\robot\test\FTPtest (Errno::EACCES)

Any help would be great appreciated.

Regards  
Edward.  
--------------this is the script----------------------------

require 'net/ftp'  
require 'find'

local\_file='E:\Dev\robot\test\FTPtest'  
server\_path='\*\*\*'

begin  
&nbsp;&nbsp;ftp = Net::FTP::new(ftp\_host)  
&nbsp;&nbsp;ftp.login(username, password)  
&nbsp;&nbsp;ftp.chdir(server\_path)  
&nbsp;&nbsp;Find.find(local\_file ) do |f|  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ftp.puttextfile(local\_file, remotefile = File.basename(f))  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;end  
end  
rescue Net::FTPError  
&nbsp;&nbsp;$stderr.puts "Couldn't connect."  
end

Figured out it:

ftp.puttextfile(local\_file, remotefile = File.basename(f))

should be:

ftp.puttextfile(f , remotefile = File.basename(f))
