Like I said, I know nothing about sockets and realize now I probably should have asked this question elsewhere. I assumed it was not a problem with ruby, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. I thought I had set up a process to listen on each port that I tried, but I had not. Yes, Bob, I meant to type 'ftp' in quotes. > Why are you randomly tring ports? What are you trying to do? I wasn't trying to do anything except send data over some sockets with ruby. Just playing. Thanks again, r
