Questions like that are usually ignored in a community of volunteers.  
Many  
consider this type of question a “demand that you do it for me”. Perhaps  
you  
should rephrase that with something like

"Hey, I’m trying to upload a file to my site, and after following the  
directions at , I’m stuck. Can anyone look at my code  
and  
tell me where I went wrong?

You should be able to search Google for “rails upload files” and find  
your  
answers. There are several Rails plugins that will help you out and have  
excellent documentation with working examples.

Good luck… remember, if you get stuck implementing one of your  
solutions,  
I’m sure someone will help you if you can show some code 🙂

Is this directed at your employee or a student? If not, we should  
exercise little civility here.

or maybe we could point them to previous discussions on this topic.

[http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/search?hl=en&group=rubyonrails-talk&q=file+upload&qt\_g=Search+this+group](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/search?hl=en&group=rubyonrails-talk&q=file+upload&qt_g=Search+this+group)  
or [http://tinyurl.com/yq77w3](http://tinyurl.com/yq77w3)

but yes, we should be polite.

just my two cents.
