Hi, guys, I’m learning to use Rails.

I want to add a file upload(_.rar,_.zip file only) funtion in my Web  
application.  
After upload, the file name will be renamed randomly and then store the  
URL of file in “file\_path” column of database.  
How to do this with Rails?

Thanks in advance!

Devine
