Net::FTP

This class implements the File Transfer Protocol. If you have used a command-line FTP program, and are familiar with the commands, you will be able to use this class easily. Some extra features are included to take advantage of Ruby's style and strengths.

Example¶ ↑

require 'net/ftp'

Example 1¶ ↑

ftp = Net::FTP.new('example.com')
ftp.login
files = ftp.chdir('pub/lang/ruby/contrib')
files = ftp.list('n*')
ftp.getbinaryfile('nif.rb-0.91.gz', 'nif.gz', 1024)
ftp.close

Example 2¶ ↑

Net::FTP.open('example.com') do |ftp|
  ftp.login
  files = ftp.chdir('pub/lang/ruby/contrib')
  files = ftp.list('n*')
  ftp.getbinaryfile('nif.rb-0.91.gz', 'nif.gz', 1024)
end

Major Methods¶ ↑

The following are the methods most likely to be useful to users:

Attributes

binary[R]

When true, transfers are performed in binary mode. Default: true.

debug_mode[RW]

When true, all traffic to and from the server is written to +$stdout+. Default: false.

last_response[R]

The server's last response.

last_response_code[R]

The server's last response code.

lastresp[R]

The server's last response code.

open_timeout[RW]

Number of seconds to wait for the connection to open. Any number may be used, including Floats for fractional seconds. If the FTP object cannot open a connection in this many seconds, it raises a Net::OpenTimeout exception. The default value is nil.

passive[RW]

When true, the connection is in passive mode. Default: true.

read_timeout[R]

Number of seconds to wait for one block to be read (via one read(2) call). Any number may be used, including Floats for fractional seconds. If the FTP object cannot read data in this many seconds, it raises a Timeout::Error exception. The default value is 60 seconds.

resume[RW]

Sets or retrieves the resume status, which decides whether incomplete transfers are resumed or restarted. Default: false.

ssl_handshake_timeout[RW]

Number of seconds to wait for the TLS handshake. Any number may be used, including Floats for fractional seconds. If the FTP object cannot complete the TLS handshake in this many seconds, it raises a Net::OpenTimeout exception. The default value is nil. If ssl_handshake_timeout is nil, open_timeout is used instead.

welcome[R]

The server's welcome message.

Public Class Methods

default_passive() click to toggle source

When true, connections are in passive mode per default. Default: true.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 151
def self.default_passive
  @@default_passive
end

default_passive=(value) click to toggle source

When true, connections are in passive mode per default. Default: true.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 145
def self.default_passive=(value)
  @@default_passive = value
end

Net::FTP.new(host = nil, options = {}) click to toggle source

Creates and returns a new FTP object. If a host is given, a connection is made.

options is an option hash, each key of which is a symbol.

The available options are:

port: Port number (default value is 21)
ssl: If options is true, then an attempt will be made to use SSL (now TLS) to connect to the server. For this to work OpenSSL [OSSL] and the Ruby OpenSSL [RSSL] extensions need to be installed. If options is a hash, it's passed to OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#set_params as parameters.
private_data_connection: If true, TLS is used for data connections. Default: true when options is true.
username: Username for login. If options is the string “anonymous” and the options is nil, “anonymous@” is used as a password.
password: Password for login.
account: Account information for ACCT.
passive: When true, the connection is in passive mode. Default: true.
open_timeout: Number of seconds to wait for the connection to open. See Net::FTP#open_timeout for details. Default: nil.
read_timeout: Number of seconds to wait for one block to be read. See Net::FTP#read_timeout for details. Default: 60.
ssl_handshake_timeout: Number of seconds to wait for the TLS handshake. See Net::FTP#ssl_handshake_timeout for details. Default: nil.
debug_mode: When true, all traffic to and from the server is written to +$stdout+. Default: false.

    lines << line
  end
  if block
    lines.each(&block)
  end
  return lines
end

Also aliased as: ls, dir

Logs in to the remote host. The session must have been previously connected. If user is the string “anonymous” and the password is nil, “anonymous@” is used as a password. If the acct parameter is not nil, an FTP ACCT command is sent following the successful login. Raises an exception on error (typically Net::FTPPermError).

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 598

sendcmd(cmd) click to toggle source

Sends a command and returns the response.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 491
def sendcmd(cmd)
  synchronize do
    putline(cmd)
    return getresp
  end
end

set_socket(sock, get_greeting = true) click to toggle source

Set the socket used to connect to the FTP server.

May raise FTPReplyError if get_greeting is false.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 396
def set_socket(sock, get_greeting = true)
  synchronize do
    @sock = sock
    if get_greeting
      voidresp
    end
  end
end

site(arg) click to toggle source

Issues a SITE command.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 1300
def site(arg)
  cmd = "SITE " + arg
  voidcmd(cmd)
end

size(filename) click to toggle source

Returns the size of the given (remote) filename.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 1174
def size(filename)
  with_binary(true) do
    resp = sendcmd("SIZE #{filename}")
    if !resp.start_with?("213")
      raise FTPReplyError, resp
    end
    return get_body(resp).to_i
  end
end

status(pathname = nil) click to toggle source

Returns the status (STAT command).

pathname: when stat is invoked with pathname as a parameter it acts like list but a lot faster and over the same tcp session.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 1247
def status(pathname = nil)
  line = pathname ? "STAT #{pathname}" : "STAT"
  if /[\r\n]/ =~ line
    raise ArgumentError, "A line must not contain CR or LF"
  end
  print "put: #{line}\n" if @debug_mode
  @sock.send(line + CRLF, Socket::MSG_OOB)
  return getresp
end

storbinary(cmd, file, blocksize, rest_offset = nil) click to toggle source

Puts the connection into binary (image) mode, issues the given server-side command (such as “STOR myfile”), and sends the contents of the file named file to the server. If the optional block is given, it also passes it the data, in chunks of blocksize characters.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 679
def storbinary(cmd, file, blocksize, rest_offset = nil) # :yield: data
  if rest_offset
    file.seek(rest_offset, IO::SEEK_SET)
  end
  synchronize do
    with_binary(true) do
      begin
        conn = transfercmd(cmd)
        while buf = file.read(blocksize)
          conn.write(buf)
          yield(buf) if block_given?
        end
        conn.shutdown(Socket::SHUT_WR) rescue nil
        conn.read_timeout = 1
        conn.read rescue nil
      ensure
        conn.close if conn
      end
      voidresp
    end
  end
rescue Errno::EPIPE
  # EPIPE, in this case, means that the data connection was unexpectedly
  # terminated.  Rather than just raising EPIPE to the caller, check the
  # response on the control connection.  If getresp doesn't raise a more
  # appropriate exception, re-raise the original exception.
  getresp
  raise
end

storlines(cmd, file) click to toggle source

Puts the connection into ASCII (text) mode, issues the given server-side command (such as “STOR myfile”), and sends the contents of the file named file to the server, one line at a time. If the optional block is given, it also passes it the lines.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 715
def storlines(cmd, file) # :yield: line
  synchronize do
    with_binary(false) do
      begin
        conn = transfercmd(cmd)
        while buf = file.gets
          if buf[-2, 2] != CRLF
            buf = buf.chomp + CRLF
          end
          conn.write(buf)
          yield(buf) if block_given?
        end
        conn.shutdown(Socket::SHUT_WR) rescue nil
        conn.read_timeout = 1
        conn.read rescue nil
      ensure
        conn.close if conn
      end
      voidresp
    end
  end
rescue Errno::EPIPE
  # EPIPE, in this case, means that the data connection was unexpectedly
  # terminated.  Rather than just raising EPIPE to the caller, check the
  # response on the control connection.  If getresp doesn't raise a more
  # appropriate exception, re-raise the original exception.
  getresp
  raise
end

system() click to toggle source

Returns system information.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 1219
def system
  resp = sendcmd("SYST")
  if !resp.start_with?("215")
    raise FTPReplyError, resp
  end
  return get_body(resp)
end

voidcmd(cmd) click to toggle source

Sends a command and expect a response beginning with '2'.

 
               # File net/ftp.rb, line 501
def voidcmd(cmd)
  synchronize do
    putline(cmd)
    voidresp
  end
end
