FTP URI syntax is defined by RFC1738 section 3.2.

This class will be redesigned because of difference of implementations; the structure of its path. draft-hoffman-ftp-uri-04 is a draft but it is a good summary about the de facto spec. tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hoffman-ftp-uri-04

Constants

COMPONENT = [ :scheme, :userinfo, :host, :port, :path, :typecode ].freeze
 

An Array of the available components for URI::FTP.
DEFAULT_PORT = 21
 

A Default port of 21 for URI::FTP.
TYPECODE = ['a', 'i', 'd'].freeze
 

Typecode is “a”, “i”, or “d”.

  • “a” indicates a text file (the FTP command was ASCII)

  • “i” indicates a binary file (FTP command IMAGE)

  • “d” indicates the contents of a directory should be displayed
TYPECODE_PREFIX = ';type='.freeze
 

Typecode prefix “;type=”.

Attributes

[R] typecode

typecode accessor.

See URI::FTP::COMPONENT.

Class Public methods

build(args)

Description

Creates a new URI::FTP object from components, with syntax checking.

The components accepted are userinfo, host, port, path, and typecode.

The components should be provided either as an Array, or as a Hash with keys formed by preceding the component names with a colon.

If an Array is used, the components must be passed in the order [userinfo, host, port, path, typecode].

If the path supplied is absolute, it will be escaped in order to make it absolute in the URI.

Examples:

require 'uri'

uri1 = URI::FTP.build(['user:password', 'ftp.example.com', nil,
  '/path/file.zip', 'i'])
uri1.to_s  # => "ftp://user:password@ftp.example.com/%2Fpath/file.zip;type=i"

uri2 = URI::FTP.build({:host => 'ftp.example.com',
  :path => 'ruby/src'})
uri2.to_s  # => "ftp://ftp.example.com/ruby/src"

new(scheme, userinfo, host, port, registry, path, opaque, query, fragment, parser = nil, arg_check = false)

Description

Creates a new URI::FTP object from generic URL components with no syntax checking.

Unlike build(), this method does not escape the path component as required by RFC1738; instead it is treated as per RFC2396.

Arguments are scheme, userinfo, host, port, registry, path, opaque, query, and fragment, in that order.

Instance Public methods

path()

Returns the path from an FTP URI.

RFC 1738 specifically states that the path for an FTP URI does not include the / which separates the URI path from the URI host. Example:

ftp://ftp.example.com/pub/ruby

The above URI indicates that the client should connect to ftp.example.com then cd to pub/ruby from the initial login directory.

If you want to cd to an absolute directory, you must include an escaped / (%2F) in the path. Example:

ftp://ftp.example.com/%2Fpub/ruby

This method will then return “/pub/ruby”.
