Attaching files through attachment_fu

Rails

Hi

I wish to upload a file not from the view but from the controller
itself.
I have the file’s path and mimetype and size.
I would like to know How it can be done directly from the controller

Thanks in Advance

filepath = File.open(“File_path”,“r”)
File.open(path_where_u_want_to_upload, “wb”) { |f|
f.write(filepath.read) }

I always prefer to actually generate an uploader object just as it
would come from the view itself.

Mock method to simulate an actual uploaded file

def mock_uploader(path, type = ‘application/octet-stream’)
uploader = ActionController::UploadedStringIO.new
uploader.original_path = path
uploader.content_type = type
def uploader.read
File.read(original_path)
end
def uploader.size
File.stat(original_path).size
end
uploader
end
