Subject: Re: Get Date Modified value for a directory (folder)

On Behalf Of Hayato Iriumi:
# I was trying to get modified date/time for a remote directory and the 
# way you showed me worked only when I mapped the drive, so it's all OK, 
# but I just wanted to let the community know that it doesn't 
# seem to work if you specify the path like...
# 
# puts File.stat('\\\\remoteMachineName\\Test\\Dir1')
# 
# When I do it, I get Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory -
# 
# Again, when I map the network folder, it works OK.

Hi Iriumi,

it works here,

irb(main):054:0> puts `dir \\\\bg-mis-pbot\\test\\test.txt`
 Volume in drive \\bg-mis-pbot\test is hd
 Volume Serial Number is 7CD8-B514

 Directory of \\bg-mis-pbot\test
