I am getting "Permission denied error when delete a file". Also I am getting when move a file from one directory to another directory. Please find the below code, source_dir = "public/BuildingImages/Building1" destination_dir = "public/BuildingImages/Building2" Dir.mkdir(destination_dir) unless File.directory?(destination_dir) FileUtils.mv(source_dir, destination_dir) # To move the file # File.delete(source_dir) # To delete a file Please let me know comments if you have any ideas? Thanks, Periyasamy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
