login

Ruby latest stable (v1_8_7_72) - 0 notes - Class: Net::FTP

login(user = "anonymous", passwd = nil, acct = nil) public

Logs in to the remote host. The session must have been previously connected. If user is the string "anonymous" and the password is nil, a password of user@host is synthesized. If the acct parameter is not nil, an FTP ACCT command is sent following the successful login. Raises an exception on error (typically Net::FTPPermError).
