Subject: Transfering files using drb (distributed Ruby)

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know if it is possible to use drb to transfer files from the 
server to the client (and vice versa)?

For example, a remotely callable method could return a byte array then, 
client side, that array could be written back on disk.

If this is possible, how would the drb infrastructure "behave" when 
transfering rather big arrays (say, 5~10 megabytes)?

Thanks,

Francis
