Hello,
I’m learning Ruby for some time. Today I started to write simple code
which will download specified files from specified servers but it
doesn’t work. It always showing me error 500 when code is going to
download file. This is code:
require ‘net/ftp’
require ‘net/http’
class Get
def initialize(resource)
if resource=~/http://|ftp:///
@resource=resource
@status=0
@type = resource[0…1].to_s
end
end
def get
case (@type)
when “ht”
@sock = Net.HTTP.new(@resource)
@sock.getbinaryfile(“index.html”,1024)
when “ft”
index = (@resource[6…-1].index("/")+5)
last = (@resource.size - @resource.reverse.index("/")-1)
ftp = Net::FTP.new(@resource[6…index])
ftp.login
ftp.chdir(@resource[(index+2)…last])
ftp.get(@resource[(last+1)…-1] , @resource[(last+1)…-1])
ftp.close
end
end
end
get = Get.new(“ftp://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/slackware/
slackware-12.0/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc”)
get.get

I didn’t find out why your code doesn’t work, but using open-uri from
the stdlib works, and might be nicer:
require “open-uri”
=> true
puts open(“ftp://anonymous:[email protected]/pub/Linux/slackware/slackware-12.0/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc”).read

It still don’t work:
require ‘open-uri’
puts open(“anonymous:[email protected]/pub/Linux/slackware/slackware-12.0/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc”).read
Net:FTPPermError: 500 Illegal PORT Command
I thinking about some bug in open-uri and net/ftp. Code is simple and
it runs so that’s not mine error. Of course i succesfully downloaded
this file using Firefox3 and TotalCommander.
Code was tested on winXP and Kubuntu8.04.
Maybe because active ftp and your firewall, try:
require ‘open-uri’
open(“ftp://whatever.ftp.site”, :ftp_active_mode => false).read
or with net/ftp call:
ftp.passive

There’s no working firewall or ftp server on my host.
Your code with using ‘open-uri’ throws error unrecognized option:
ftp_active_mode (Argument Error)

The code I showed worked on my machine. Tested on OS X (10.4),
without any firewall issues.
Ruby version:
Beyond firewalls, active ftp won’t work behind a NAT device.
Ftp servers sometimes say illegal port command if you tell them that
your address is a private ip address like 192.168.x (your address on
the network behind the nat device)

It can be it cause i’m connecting from small LAN. Got any idea how to
make it works even that host is beheind nat device?
You need to be using passive ftp. According to the docs you just need
to say ftp.passive = true (assuming ftp is an instance of Net::FTP)

With ftp.passive my first code works but version using open-uri was
smaller. So I’m asking about how to set passive mode using open-uri?
