Subject: net::FTP fails me (newbe question)

I am running ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32] on winXp SP2+ and 
using ruby to do a bunch of website formatting maintenance and general 
tidying up.  The last step is to send the changed files to the site. 
All of the files end up truncated! the code bloc I am using is: (names 
and places changed to protect the innocent)

if changed != {}
   print "Send to web site? [Y,n]"
   a = $stdin.gets.chomp
   if a =~ /^y.*/i  || a == ''
     ftp = Net::FTP.new('website.place')
     ftp.login('name','password')
     ftp.chdir('www/fileplace')
     changed.each_key {|f|
     	print f
     	ftp.puttextfile(f)
     	puts ": " + ftp.size(f).to_s + " of #{changed[f]}"
     }
     ftp.close
   end
end

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
