Re: [Rails] File rename - permision denied

didn't realize you were on a windows box - life can be somewhat less rational there.  unix has used the same permissions model and change commands since it's inception in 1970.  calcs showed up sometime around windows2000/xp and has now been depricated for use on windows7. 

here's a thread that you might find helpful; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9113206/cacls-windows-7-full-permissions-local-names

you could save yourself much heartache (measured in decades) and build yourself a linux box. microsoft does not make a software development environment, they only make money.

Hi

I changed the permissions of the directory from my command prompt (using Windows). Used this command:

cacls path\folder   /t /e /g Everyone:f

And I got the same message "Permission Denied".

File.chmod will presumably only work if your Ruby process is being executed by a user with the required permissions to run chmod in the first place; I suspect not in this case. Change the permissions on the directory with your files in so that user can access it, using the shell.
