Controller action:

def upload  
File.open  
“#{RAILS\_ROOT}/uploads/#{params[:file].original\_filename}”, ‘wb’ do |f|  
f.write(params[:file].read)  
end  
redirect\_to :action =\> ‘index’  
end

View:

\<% form\_tag({:action =\> ‘upload’}, {:multipart =\> true}) do %\>  
Upload a file:  
\<%= file\_field\_tag ‘file’ %\>  
\<%= submit\_tag ‘Submit’ %\>  
\<% end %\>
