\<%= form\_tag :action =\> ‘upload’, :id =\> @property.id %\>  
\<%= file\_field ‘images’, ‘name’ %\>  
\<%= submit\_tag “send” %\>  
\<%= end\_form\_tag %\>

@user = “new\_image”  
File.open("#{RAILS\_ROOT}/public/images/#{@user}.jpg", “wb”) do |f|  
f.write(@params[‘name’])  
end

Should that be:

\<%= form\_tag({:action =\> “upload”, :id =\> @property}, :multipart =\>
