I can't remember where I first saw this.

$ cat client.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'xmlrpc/client'
require 'base64'

data = IO.read('/tmp/test.jpg')
encoded_file = Base64.encode64(data)

server = XMLRPC::Client.new3({'host'=>'localhost', 'port'=>8888,  
'timeout'=>30})

if server.call("put_file", encoded_file)
   puts "ok"
end
puts result

$ cat server.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby

$SAFE = 1

require "xmlrpc/server"
require 'base64'

s = XMLRPC::Server.new(8888)
s.add_handler("put_file") { |encoded_file|
   Dir.chdir('/tmp/test')
   File.open('test.jpg', 'w+') { |file|
       file.puts( Base64.decode64(encoded_file) )
     }
     true
}

s.serve
