It won't work that way ; cp_r copies the whole directories. You need to use Dir.glob or Find.find to select the files and then copy them one by one. Again, pretty much untested : Dir.chdir("/public/uploaded/users/#{u.login[0..0]}/#{u.login}/logo") do Dir.glob("**/*.{jpg,png,gif}").each do |f| f2 = "/public/uploaded/logos/#{u.id}/#{f}" mkdir_p File.dirname(f2) cp_r f, f2 end end (You'll need at least to specify absolute paths if public isn't in the root.)
