Subject: Odd Net::FTP behavior

Here's my (simple) code. This has worked fine in the past;
now even this simple example fails for me.

It gets as far as creating an empty file, then it hangs and
times out.

This is Ruby 1.8.4 on FC4, talking to another Linux box
(RH Enterprise I think).

Any ideas?

domain, user, password = "mydomain.com", "myuser", "mypass"
args = [domain]
args << user << password if user != nil
puts "Connecting..."
@ftp = Net::FTP.new(*args)
@rempath = "/var/www/html/whatever/"
puts "Change dir..."
@ftp.chdir(@rempath)

puts "Upload file..."
@ftp.puttextfile("foobar","foobar-rem")      # Hangs here!
puts "Closing..."
@ftp.close
puts "Finished."
