Dear all,

I am a new ruby programer and i would your help to apply the following  
in ruby.

In order to download my files from my ftp server (It doesnt support  
rsync) i need to do the following:

ssh -nNTf -l $router\_user -D $port $wide\_ip\_addres (open SSH)

socksify wget --user=$gps\_user   
–password=$password   
-T 10   
–tries=3   
–dont-remove-listing   
–no-host-directories   
–directory-prefix=$root\_dir/   
ftp://$local\_ip\_addres  
(use socksify and a local ip addres).

I saw that a person could install ruby socksify package, but i dont  
really know how to defind this all. In general i have a shell script  
that combine my ruby program and the ssh, but i would like to know how  
could i write it all in ruby.

Thanks
