Hi Rick,

Thanks for your reply,

What I need is

1. connect to a remote machine using its IP.  
2)Fetch the folder from that machine.  
3)Copy that to the Server PC.

How can I achieve that.  
Please help me out

Thanks and Regards,

I think that Rick’s link  
[http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/ftp/rdoc/classes/Net/FTP.htmlshows](http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/ftp/rdoc/classes/Net/FTP.htmlshows)  
you how to do that. Is there something specific that it does not  
cover?
