Check the Webserver's (e.g. Apache) file size limit.  It may be set to 
some
small value.

Thanks for  responding Jeffrey

but i am new to rails ,so where do i find Webserver file size limit ,am 
running
mongrel as server  and one more thing i would like to mention is when am 
trying to upload large file (320 mb),file is being uploaded to phyical 
location but i am getting error like

Invalid argument -
//192.168.147.27/Smruti/streams/predator_720x480_5mbps_30fps_17minclip.264.filepart

When i looked into the streams folder file is there...

is that your app? what are you using to handle downloads?

I don't know Mongrel, but I'd look in the Mongrel configuration file.  I
expect Mongrel is cutting off or aborting the file transfer and then 
throwing
the InvalidArgument exception.

In Nginx, the setting is:

        client_max_body_size 0; # don't limit the upload file size

In Apache, the setting is:

    LimitRequestBody 500000

Look for something similar.

HTH,
  Jeffrey

Jeffrey i edit the code and things starts working for me



#this model file
class DataFile < ActiveRecord::Base

def self.save(upload)
    name =  upload['datafile'].original_filename
    directory = "c:/dm"
    # create the file path
    path = File.join(directory, name)
    # write the file
    File.open(path, "wb") { |f| f.write(upload['datafile'].read) }

 target="//192.168.147.17/Smruti/streams"
     File.copy(path,target)


  end
end
i added two lines
target="//192.168.147.17/Smruti/streams"
File.copy(path,target)
ans i changed
    directory = "c:/dm"
and things are working for me
but could you tell me what was happening before why am getting
Invalid argument -
