Both my Rails model and controller code need to write files to the file system.
I would like to consolidate the logic into one method.
What’s the best way to share this method across models and controllers?
Thanks!

I think the controller would defer the actual execution of writing a file to the file system to the model. While the controller is allowed to decide when to execute that code, it should not be responsible for it’s implementation, So that code should really only be in the Model.
