I keep getting errors with this simple ftp script. Real names and passwords have been changed to protect the innocent. I just need to send the input files to the ftp target without the extensions they have. Thanks for any help. ## 1 require ‘net/ftp’ 2 require ‘FileUtils’ 3 Dir.chdir(“E:/workflows/graphics/out/ps2k/100dpi”) 4 ArborTextfiles = Dir.glob(“\*.100”) 5 ArborTextfiles.each do |file100| 6 #file100.to\_s 7 ftp = Net::FTP.open(‘[quack.bna.com](http://quack.bna.com)’) do |ftp| 8 ftp.login(‘xxxxx’,‘xxxxx’) 9 ftp.chdir(‘/xxx/graphics/tiff\_100\_dpi’) 10 ftp.putbinaryfile(file100.sub(“.100”,“”)) 11 end 12 end These are the errors I get: E:/live/RUBY/lib/ruby/1.8/net/ftp.rb:556:in `initialize': No such file or direct ory - test303 (Errno::ENOENT) from E:/live/RUBY/lib/ruby/1.8/net/ftp.rb:556:in `putbinaryfile’ from e:/live/scripts/ruby/ftp/ArborTextimages2quack.rb:9 from E:/live/RUBY/lib/ruby/1.8/net/ftp.rb:115:in `open’ from e:/live/scripts/ruby/ftp/ArborTextimages2quack.rb:6 from e:/live/scripts/ruby/ftp/ArborTextimages2quack.rb:5 ---

Thanks a lot, Jamey. I used the latter. Now, what if I want to remove the file after I’ve ftp’d it? The variable “file100” wouldn’t apply anymore, so, could I do a FileUtils.rm with the same File.basename string as the ftp? Thanks. ---

Uh, I figured it out. Thanks, Jamey. I realized that “file100” was still perfectly valid for the original filenames, so, I didn’t need anything fancy. -Peter
