rails-file-uploading

This tutorial was written by a Windows user. Assuming you are working on a linux / mac osx / unix system you need to change all occurances of "\" to "/" in path specifications.

"app\views\upload\uploadfile.rhtml"

"app/views/upload/uploadfile.rhtml"

"uploadfile.html.erb"

this looks sweet for inline file uploading
