Hi everyone,  
I finally uploaded files in RoR. Now I want to download it back trough  
the  
browser. This is what I get:  
Routing Error

No route matches “/uploaded\_files/dr\_2.pdf” with {:method=\>:get}

What can I do?

Are you able to view the file if you go to [yourdomain.com/](http://yourdomain.com/)  
uploaded\_files/dr\_2.pdf ? That’s the first thing to check - is it  
really there? If you’re trying to get it, it sould live in RAILS\_ROOT/  
public/uploaded\_files, I believe. It seems like a simple \<%= link\_to  
‘filename’, ‘/uploaded\_files/filename’ %\> should work.

That’s exactly what I am doing. But it does not work. The file is really  
there RAIS\_ROOT/uploaded\_files/dr\_2.pdf

The index view is in  
[https://disciplinas.dcc.ufba.br/svn/MATA63/2008.1/equipe5/trunk/app/views/projects/index.html.erb](https://disciplinas.dcc.ufba.br/svn/MATA63/2008.1/equipe5/trunk/app/views/projects/index.html.erb)

The whole project is in  
[https://disciplinas.dcc.ufba.br/svn/MATA63/2008.1/equipe5/trunk](https://disciplinas.dcc.ufba.br/svn/MATA63/2008.1/equipe5/trunk)

Thanks

Reread what kyle said: /uploaded\_files/filename maps to RAILS\_ROOT/  
public/uploaded\_files/filename.
