How to upload ftp directory using ruby

I need to upload a directory having sub-directories to a ftp server.

I can upload a file using

require 'net/ftp'
ftp = Net::FTP.new(options[:remote_host])
ftp.login(options[:username], options[:password])

ftp.put(File.open("filename"))

ftp.quit

It fails with uploading directory receiving error...

Errno::EISDIR: Is a directory

Can anyone give help?

You will need to create the sub-directories and upload the files 'manually'. Every FTP client do it this way.

Net::FTP implements FTP protocol and FTP uses MKD command to create directories (different from commands used to create files). Net::FTP can create directory with special Net::FTP#mkdir method.

mkdir(dirname)

Creates a remote directory.
