Subject: Re: Delete the files from mac system connected by windows.

Mac is Unix, so the file path is going to be different - it's a forward slash, rather than backslash:

>> Dir.chdir("\\Users\\rilindo\\src\\test")
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - \Users\rilindo\src\test
	from (irb):3:in `chdir'
	from (irb):3
>> Dir.chdir("/Users/rilindo/src/test")
=> 0
>> Dir.pwd
=> "/Users/rilindo/src/test"
>>
