Help! cannot recursive call

[Greg Brondo]

Having a problem with following code. It will drop to the first directory
and then hang. Any help will be appreciated.

---- snip ----
require 'net/ftp'

public

def chmodDir(ftp, dir)
ftp.chdir(dir)
puts ftp.pwd
ftp.list() do |e|
dir = e.split(/ +/)[8]
if e=~ /^d/
ftp.chmodDir(ftp, dir)
end
end
end

(site, user, pass, dir) = ARGV

ftp = Net::FTP.new(site, user, pass)

chmodDir(ftp, dir)

ftp.close()

---- snip ----

Thanks!

ftp.chmodDir(ftp, dir) # <-------------
end
end
end

Maybe I've misread the code, but shouldn't the marked line just be "chmodDir(ftp, dir)"?

Presumably, there should also be some kind of chmod() call in there, too. Ie, something like ...

def chmodDir(ftp, dir)
ftp.chdir(dir)
puts ftp.pwd
ftp.list() do |e|
dir = e.split(/ +/)[8]
if e=~ /^d/
ftp.chmod(dir) # <---------------- Change the subdirectory's mode
chmodDir(ftp, dir)# <---------------- Recurse to handle *its* subdirectories
end
end
end

But, maybe you're just trying to get the recursion working before adding that code. What's more, I don't even know whether there *is* a Net::FTP.chmod() method . I'm just guessing here.
