Answer 1

You must use the Tempfile class.

 require 'tempfile' file = Tempfile.new('foo') file.path # => A unique filename in the OS temp directory, # eg: "/tmp/foo.24722.0" # This filename contains 'foo' in its basename. file.write("hello world") file.rewind file.read # => "hello world" file.close file.unlink # deletes the temp file 

To create temporary folders, you can use Dir.mktmpdir .
