Subject: FTPS - How to connect with Ruby?

Hello, I'm new to Ruby and have the first problem I can't solve myself
after a lot of googling - connecting to a FTPS server (FTP AUTH TLS/
SSL).

- there's some library called chilkat, but it's not free (for this
little script it's really too expensive to solve it that way)
- ftpfxp library is targeted on fxp transfers, but it connects ok -
but it doesn't seem like a good library for normal ftp-related work
- the standard ftp library doesn't look like it has some support for
firewall/proxy to get there a program like TLSWrap between client and
server and solve the problem
- I found some curl library in prealfa state that could possibly help
me somehow - but it looks like the last solution when everything else
fails (prealfa, weird installation)

Could you please give me a hint?
