I would like to create the functionality to ftp a file from my rails  
CMS system, does anyone have some insight on FTP functionality/code?

Here we go:

require ‘net/ftp’

ftp = Net::FTP.new(‘[example.com](http://example.com)’)  
ftp.login(user = “ **", passwd = "** ”)  
ftp.putbinaryfile(“/data/images/myimage.jpg”, File.basename( “/data/  
images/myimage.jpg” ))  
ftp.quit()
