 You can't mix 2 ftp commands

  you send the command LIST

G>         fileName = entry.split()[8]
G>         print_info("CHMOD #{PERMISSIONS} #{fileName}")
G>         conn.sendcmd("SITE CHMOD #{PERMISSIONS} #{fileName}")
G>         if entry =~ /^d/ # It's a directory
G>             chmod_files(conn, fileName)

 you call recursively chmod_files(). This mean that you'll send a command
 LIST when the previous is not yet finished.

 You must call #list without a block, to be sure that the command is
 finished when you recurse

G>             conn.chdir("..")
