>From the API: File rendering works just like action rendering except that it takes a filesystem path. By default, the path is assumed to be absolute, and the current layout is not applied.
# Renders the template located at the absolute filesystem path render :file => "/path/to/some/template.erb" render :file => "c:/path/to/some/template.erb" # Renders a template within the current layout, and with a 404 status code render :file => "/path/to/some/template.erb", :layout => true, :status => 404 render :file => "c:/path/to/some/template.erb", :layout => true, :status => 404 Based on that you should be able to use one of the 2 first samples and modify it for your needs.
