Simple FTP app using Flex and Rails
Here is a simple app that I put together to demonstrate an integration between Flex and Ruby’s File and Directory utilities. It is not, by any means, meant to be a full FTP application (though I suppose it could, with some work, serve as the foundation for one).
Here is what you can do with it:
- Create a new account or log into an existing account.
- Create new subfolders in your account.
- Upload .txt or .jpg files. Up to 1MB per account (look out Box.net).
- Download files.
- Delete files or folders.
- Move files or folders by dragging them from the right panel dropping them on directory tree.
That’s about it.
Please consider this to be an alpha realease, as I am sure there will be bugs. If you do encounter a bug that you would like to report, please send an email to: bugs at flexonrails dot net
Finally, here is the link to the app: http://www.flexonrails.net/flexftp/public/
I will release the source as soon as I’ve had a chance to fix all the bugs and clean up the code a bit.

[UPDATE 04/22/2007]
Ok, I never did get around to cleaning up the code for this app so the code is still in pretty rough shape, but a couple of people asked for the source recently, so I’ve decided to release the source as is in the hopes that at least some small parts of it will be useful to someone.

Hi,
I just wanted to know whether you are
using the FTP protocol or giving the user
FTP like functionality. Since I went through
your code and couldn’t find where are you
establishing the ftp connection.
