One way is to use scRUBYt!: ========================================================== rubyforge\_data = Scrubyt::Extractor.define do fetch ‘[http://rubyforge.org/](http://rubyforge.org/)’ click\_link ‘Log In’ fill\_textfield ‘form\_loginname’, ‘_login\_here_’ fill\_textfield ‘form\_pw’, ‘_pass\_here_’ submit 0 stuff ‘My Personal Page’ # end Or you can use WWW::Mechanize (scRUBYt! is also built on Mechanize) to do the same thing. If you would like to also scrape something there, I would suggest scRUBYt!, otherwise Mechanize is the way to go.

I kindly suggest that you ask your question in a more specific way. “An account” could mean a zillion things. A Windows account? A Unix account? A Cisco router login? A bank account? The question is meaningless as it stands. If you phrased the question as: “I have a login and password for an account on a Unix machine which I can access via telnet or ssh. Is there a Ruby client for either of these protocols?” then it would be specific. On the other hand, taking 30 seconds of your time to enter the keywords into Google would immediately give you the answer you are looking for. Not doing this just gives the impression that you can’t be bothered to think for yourself.
