I am using the Paperclip plugin to store video attachments into a remote server (via an ftp storage module written by Damian Caruso) it works well... Now I would like my web app user to be able to download back this attachment into their local pc I can use def download .. Net::SCP.start( hostname, username, :password => password ) do| scp| scp.download!(''httpdocs/video-library/clips/requests/46/ CraigStadler.mp4'', ''/tmp'') end .. which download the file first in the /tmp folder of my web app, then doing a sendfile... but is there any other solution ( direct link to remote server is not a solution... ) thanks for your help Yves -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
