fs.writeFile() doesn't work on Meteor 0.6.5.1

I was using Meteor 0.6.4.1 and used Npm.require('fs') and fs.writeFile()to save files. Here is the code I used to test it: Gist for save files. I updated Meteor to 0.6.5.1 and got this error:

(STDERR) app/server/save_file.js:18
(STDERR)         throw (new Meteor.Error(500, 'Failed to save file. ' + err));
(STDERR)                ^
(STDERR) Error: Failed to save file. Error: ENOENT, open 'public/carlos.png' [500]
(STDERR)     at Meteor.methods.saveFile (app/server/save_file.js:18:16)
(STDERR)     at fs.writeFile (fs.js:746:21)
(STDERR)     at Object.oncomplete (fs.js:297:15)

I know that node version changed from 0.8.18 to 0.8.24 on Meteor 0.6.5. It's a bug on the 0.8.24 node version or the Meteor 0.6.5 version? It's there any way to solve it or I must stay with 0.6.4.1 Meteor version?

In Meteor 0.6.5, they changed the current working directory in the server context, it used to be the Meteor root directory but it is now MyProject/.meteor/local/build/programs/server.

So if you want to access something in the public folder from the server side app, you could try this path : ../../../../../public/.

Warning : writing files to public might cause the server to restart and lead to undefined behaviour.
