Such problem (itself with Ruby has arisen is familiar with recent time  
☹ )  
It is necessary to receive with FTP the list of files. The criteria of  
search are set by user.  
The files should be of the certain kind (for example:  
MOD17A2. A2006041.h33v10.004.2006065184018.hdf)

The user sets the Name MOD17A2 and certain coordinates h33v10  
And date on which there is a choice. On server these files are in  
folders  
Which names coincide with date. The date looks like 2006.02.10, as well  
The folder is called.

I can not decide(solve) or find though something useful on job with the  
protocol FTP.

Can will prompt a command with which help it will be possible to carry  
out  
Standard set of commands from under shell?  
It is necessary extremely and urgently:)
