from the pickaxe's doc for Net::FTP

aSession.connect( host, port=FTP_PORT )  
 
Establishes an FTP connection to host, optionally overriding the
default port. If the environment variable SOCKS_SERVER is set, sets up
the connection through a SOCKS proxy. Raises an exception (typically
Errno::ECONNREFUSED) if the connection cannot be established
