All, I just had a problem in my Rails app. where I was generating a ZIP file (using rubyzip) on Linux and copying to a Windows share (mounted via Samba) using ftools and sometimes partial copies would occur. I then saw via perusing some posts online that "ftools is obsolete" and even the pickaxe book says "The FileUtils library is now recommended over ftools." I got my code working by using FileUtils, which is great, but can anyone explain any known issues with ftools? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
