Net::FTP.open(‘[mpc.bna.com](http://mpc.bna.com)’) do |ftp|  
ftp.debug\_mode = true  
ftp.passive = true  
ftp.login(user, passwd)  
ftp.chdir(‘/data/ps2000test’)  
cindexfiles.each do |cindexfile|  
ftp.putbinaryfile(cindexfile)  
end  
end

If that still hangs for some reason, try a non block approach with  
Net::FTP and see if that works.

Hope that helps.

Yes, I know that I’m iterating ftps here. But, it works on multiple  
32-bit machiens. That’s why I’m questioning it. Anyway, is there such a  
thing as “mput” instead of just “put” in RUBY ftp? Without a block, how  
could I send multiple files in ftp?

Thanks again.
