Rails - Aug 2009 - Attaching files through attachment_fu

Hi

I wish to upload a file not from the view but from the controller
itself.
I have the file''s path and mimetype and size.
I would like to know How it can be done directly from the controller

Thanks in Advance

 filepath = File.open("File_path","r")
 File.open(path_where_u_want_to_upload, "wb") { |f| 
f.write(filepath.read) }

I always prefer to actually generate an uploader object just as it  
would come from the view itself.

# Mock method to simulate an actual uploaded file
def mock_uploader(path, type = ''application/octet-stream'')
   uploader = ActionController::UploadedStringIO.new
   uploader.original_path = path
   uploader.content_type = type
   def uploader.read
     File.read(original_path)
   end
   def uploader.size
     File.stat(original_path).size
   end
   uploader
end
