Backport #5557: ftp error uploading binary files

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -

[matthew (Matthew Johnson)]

I have a build script which uploads resulting zip files to a Dreamhost account using net/ftp. It used to work fine and no longer works. I have verified on a few machines that it appears to work fine on my Macs which have patch level 174 (Snow Leopard), but not on my Macs which have patch level 249 (both Snow Leopard and Lion). All Macs are on 1.8.7 so it appears that the patch level is where the break happened.

Here is a sample representing the kind of code that I have in my script (I have obviously taken out the actual domain, username, password, etc).

require 'net/ftp'
Net::FTP.open "ftp.mysite.com" do |ftp|
ftp.login "...", "..."
ftp.chdir "mybuilds"
ftp.putbinaryfile "myfile.zip"
end

Here is the stack trace I get:

Errno::EINVAL: Invalid argument
