You can do this “by hand” or with a plugin. I recomend the last  
option, one that work well (for me) is the attachment\_fu plugin  
([GitHub - technoweenie/attachment\_fu: Treat an ActiveRecord model as a file attachment, storing its patch, size, content type, etc.](http://github.com/technoweenie/attachment_fu/tree/master)).

hi there,

Instead of using “attachment\_fu plugin” you can try paperclip. It’s a  
nice way to upload files. Here is a complete video tutotial of how to  
use it:
