I don’t see anything in ftp.rb, but I could be missing something. I’d be in favor of FTP#mput and FTP#mget methods myself. Indulge me - try using a non-block form of Net::FTP and see if it makes any difference: cindexfiles = Dir.glob(“_\__-\*.pdf”) cindexfiles.each do |cindexfile| ftp = Net::FTP.open(‘[mpc.bna.com](http://mpc.bna.com)’) ftp.debug\_mode = true ftp.passive = true ftp.login(‘peterb’,‘pbail’) ftp.chdir(‘/data/ps2000test’) ftp.putbinaryfile(cindexfile) end Regards, Dan This communication is the property of Qwest and may contain confidential or privileged information.

Thanks for your ftp query. And, thanks for your persistence here. But, sorry, I’m feeling kind of ignorant here. If I have a bunch of PDF files in a directory, how can I do things to each of them, like ftp, WITHOUT a block of some sort? Or, without some kind of multi-file ftp put, like mput?? Cheers, Peter ---

I thought about it last night, and, of course, it’s smarter to iterate just the files rather than the whole ftp transaction. But, anyway, I tried this again this morning with IRB, just sending one file, not many, and it freezes as soon as I type in the “end.”
