I get the file size of images by
imgmb = File.size("#{RAILS_ROOT}/..../#{file}")
But that''s when I have the file on the server. Can you test that before
in order to stop the file upload if it''s really heavy? How does that
work?

How are the files loaded onto the server?
For example, if they are coming in from users as email attachments you
could use attachment_fu to set the maximum size in the model:
class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attachment :storage => :file_system,
.
.
:size => 1..5.megabytes
validates_as_attachment
end
(paperclip probably has similar functionality but I have not personal
experience with it)

Just for clarification, this will not prevent the file being uploaded into the server''s memory but it will prevent it from being saved to the file system.

Just to clarify further. If the file is large enough, it WON''T be kept in memory, instead it will be written to a temp file and the handle for that will be passed in the params. I don''t know of any way inside Rails to stop a file being uploaded, but suspect you could get the web server to limit how much it would upload for a single request. Brendon.

I use Litespeed. I''ll check the server settings. What I don''t understand is how this actually works, so just a quick follow-up question – that I guess is more related to the basics of file handling in Ruby. I see that it comes into the server as a ruby object. Isn''t that a temp-file? I thought that it always was a temp-file. Can I use File.size(file) on that or do I have to File.open() first? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
