Two questions from a PHP guy thinking of moving to Rails:
-
Does Rails have equivalents for PHP’s FTP functions
(PHP: FTP - Manual)?
-
What about image editing functions similar to PHP’s GD2 functions? (I
would basically want to be able to crop, rotate, draw lines, add
text…)
I searched online for the above but I got somewhat conflicting info
about image editing and almost no info on FTP functions. I thought this
would be the best place to ask for help, as the applications I’m about
to start working on will need both items mentioned and I won’t be able
to use RoR if there are no image editing and/or ftp features.
Many thanks,
Gabor
The capabilities you’re asking for are available as Ruby libraries/gems:
Check out Net::FTP (part of the ruby std lib) -
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/ftp/rdoc/index.html
For image manipulation, check out RMagick:
http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/
Good luck!

Also worth checking is the psitsNOT engine.
http://svn.openprofile.net/plugins/p_sitsnot_engine/README
Basically a plugin extracted from this site.
Should help you so you get image manipulaton up in 14,7 sec.

I asked a question below on being able to send/receive files in response
to an http request and haven’t heard anything from the group yet. I’m
guessing that this is not essential to setting up a web site for most
people.
However, it seems that this is built into Ruby. Look at the Pickaxe
book for Net::http and ftp.

Rails is “just” a framework; you should compare PHP with Ruby, not with
Rails.
Therefore, when you’re looking for extensions, look for Ruby ones;
putting “rails” in your google searches will reduce the set of answers
significantly.
