I would recommend the file\_column plugin which is very stable,  
configurable, and easy to use. Besides it offers an integration of  
RMagic to handle images (scaling, etc.).

searching for “upload files ruby rails” in Google yields pretty  
interesting results.

I prefer acts\_as\_attachment or attachment\_fu over filecolumn nowadays.
