hi everybody, after some time dealing with file upload finally i have my  
scvript working, the problem its that seems that the files are uploaded  
with 600 permissions and i need to be 644 to be accesible to everyone.

So i tried to change the permisions of the files inside the folder where  
are saved the uploaded files, i have this on the index action of my  
controller so at fisrt time change the permissions when needed:

Dir["/public/images/publics/\*"].each {|f| FileUtils.chmod(0664, f)}

But doesnt seems to work, no error or warnings and the files remains  
with the old permissions and i have to change it manually by ftp, if  
someone can give me a hand with how to change permissions inside a  
folder from a controller ill be very happy and your help will be very  
appreciated cause i have tried a lot and i cant make it work ☹

The second major entry should get you where you’re going.

Is it possible you spent 4 days without using Google?

If so let me humbly recommend that you pull the Google  
trigger sooner next time.
