[Wtr-general] OT: Ruby FTP behind a Firewall

[Paul Carvalho]

Aha!  Thanks Chris.  My google searches didn't turn up that hit.

Unfortunately, it gets me one step further but I still cannot connect:
----
irb(main):001:0> require 'net/ftp'
=> true

irb(main):002:0> ftp = Net::FTP.new
=> #<Net::FTP:0x2bee920 @mon_owner=nil, @debug_mode=false,
@mon_waiting_queue=[], @passive=false, @binary=true, @mon_entering_queue=[],
@mon_count=0, @resume=false>

irb(main):003:0> ftp.passive = true
=> true

irb(main):004:0> ftp.connect('ftp.cs.uiuc.edu')
Net::FTPPermError: 530-

irb(main):005:0> ftp.connect('ftp.ruby-lang.org')
=> nil

I'm going to go back to our IT guy and see if he can shed anymore light as
to why I'm getting this error.  Google didn't turn up anything helpful to me
when I tried searching on that specific ftp error message.


Cheers.  Paul.
