Presumably, there should also be some kind of chmod() call in there, too.  Ie, something like ...

def chmodDir(ftp, dir)
    ftp.chdir(dir)
    puts ftp.pwd
    ftp.list() do |e|
        dir = e.split(/ +/)[8]
        if e=~ /^d/
            ftp.chmod(dir)    # <---------------- Change the subdirectory's mode
            chmodDir(ftp, dir)# <---------------- Recurse to handle *its* subdirectories
        end
    end
end

But, maybe you're just trying to get the recursion working before adding that code.  What's more, I don't even know whether there *is* a Net::FTP.chmod() method :-).  I'm just guessing here.
