Thanks, Rajesh

Hi Rajesh

What exactly do you mean by “drag and drop support”?

I presume the files are on the server. For the system stuff have a look at FileUtils (standard ruby library). That won't do the drag/drop of course, which I presume you want to do in the browser. It sounds a rather strange requirement, using browser on client to manipulate files/folders on the server.
