Answer 2

1 Usually Anonymous users can only download, not upload.

#2 cant think of anything off the top of my head, why are you not using an FTP program? Command line access is irritating.

#3 Are you connecting to LINUX or Windows?

ls for linux dir for Windows



#4 I would try A or F but seriously.. refer to answer #2.

Answer 3

most of the time, anonymous.



the download command in ruby is ftp.get(filename) so maybe this would work?



if it's a windows ftp server "dir" or if a linux use "ls" but better than that use "nlst" if you can.



use close, this closes the ftp session, meaning that nothing else can happen on the ftp server untill you reopen at session.
