FTPS (TLS/SSL) from Ruby on Rails App

Question

I have an FTP server which only accepts connections through running FTPS (explicit FTP over TLS). I need to be able to connect to this using a Ruby on Rails app.

Answer 1

I done something like this with Implicit/Explicit FTPS, I used double-bag-ftps gem that I patched to support reuse of ssl session. It's a requirement for a lot of ftps servers.

I put the code on github here : https://github.com/alain75007/double-bag-ftps
