Has anyone seen something like this -

problemreport-PVTQA01-200704190111.gz  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/ftp.rb:339:in `transfercmd': 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. (Net::FTPReplyError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/ftp.rb:403:in`retrbinary’

ftp = Net::FTP.new(‘files’)  
ftp.login(user = “xxx”, password=“xxx”)  
ftp.chdir(‘processed’)  
ftp.list() {|report|  
report =~ /(._)(problemreport._)/  
puts $2  
ftp.getbinaryfile($2,$2,1024)----\> this is line 12

}  
ftp.close

If I go into ftp.rb and simply comment out line 339 above everything  
works fine.
