can i ignore asp files in rails static folder?

Question

i want translate old asp site to rails.

old site has mixup code and static file in one big tree

like

   .
   ..
   blabla/
   -img/
   --aaa.jpg
   -js/
   --aaa.js
   blabla.asp 
   blabla2/
   -img/
   --aaa.jpg
   -js/
   --aaa.js
   blabla2.asp

it's big site and still replace static files. and i didn't want sync issue. so i do

ln -s oldfolder/ rails/public

static files are no problem but asp codes can look outside. i think it's problem.

so my question is, how can i pick up some extension(like js,css,jpg) in big spaggette non public folder? or how can i ignore some extension(jsp) in public folder?

thanks.

If you're using Apache you probably can use this: http://www.ducea.com/2006/07/21/apache-tips-tricks-deny-access-to-certain-file-types/ to deny access to the asp files.
