Thanks for the response. I using file_column. but i using it for upload files from my pc. Is possible use it with files stored in a remote server?

How??

I try to replace:

<%= file_column_field "user", "image" %>

with: <input type="text" name="user[image]" />

but it not works

You'd probably have to make your own Net::HTTP connection to the remote server and pull in the file that way. Be careful before saving to check the mime types etc so you're not saving something ugly like a virus or script to your server!
