Last night I was thinking about your problem: if I remember, you're running your ruby code from a Win32 box? You probably can't SSH to localhost unless you have a SSH server (so to speak) running. I don't think most Win32 would ever have this. Typically you'll SSH to a unix box. A remote one. Nic -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
