I am fairly new to ruby and am working with windows xp. I'm trying to
copy files from one directory to another using the FileUtils module.
When I run the program, I get a Permission Denied error (EACCES). Any
thoughts on how to get this to work?
files.each do |f|
next if f == "." or f == ".."
FileUtils.copy(dir,newdir)
end

You forgot to use f in this line.

FileUtils.copy isn't a mind-reader.
It doesn't know (or assume) that you have put
the name of the file in variable named f.
It doesn't know that it is being invoked
inside of a loop.
