I want to copy a folder over an existing one. Some files are read-only. When I do it I get the following error: C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:1246:in `initialize': Permission denied - Folder2/./coco.txt (Errno::EACCES) The Folder2/./coco.txt file is read-only Here is the code: require 'fileutils' include FileUtils::Verbose cp_r('Folder1/.','Folder2') Does anybody has an idea how I can fix this ? I tried the :force option and it looks like it's not supported. Note: I am on a Windows platform. Thanks in advance -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
