Hi,  
I have my RoR deployed on Linux server. My application has “browse file”  
section where it selects the file from users machine (e.g. -  
D:/kw/loaddata/New/abc.txt) and passes it to convertTo method

But the path is not being resolved. It throws me an error:  
Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory - D:/kw/loaddata/New/abc.txt):  
.//app/controllers/releases\_controller.rb:35:in `initialize' .//app/controllers/releases_controller.rb:35:in`convertTo’  
/scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action\_controller/base.rb:910:in  
`perform_action_without_filters' /scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/session_management.rb:117:in`process’  
…

any input on how do I reolve this? I’m chaging the windows to fwd slash  
in my method. I guess I can access file on windows from linux box.

def convertTo  
inputfilename = params[:inputfilename].gsub("\","/")  
end

Perhaps it’s choking on the leading “D:”.

Does this simple test work, using irb?  
File.exists?(“D:/kw/loaddata/New/abc.txt”)
