I am using the following line of code in an action to provide a file
upload capability.
File.open(params[:upload_directory]+''/''+''test1'',''wb''){|f|
f.write(params[:file2upload].read)}
Admittedly, I''m not real clear on exactly how the above line works;
but, it does work. I''m wondering if there is any way I can get at the
original file name (i.e., the name of the file on the system from
which the file is being uploaded) so that I could substitute it for
''test1'' and thereby preserve the original file name.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try this:
File.open(File.join(params[:upload_directory],
params[:file2upload].original_filename),''wb''){ |f|
f.write(params[:file2upload].read) }

What I''m trying to find out is whether the original filename is somehow available for use as a part of the file upload mechanism without my having to pass it as a parameter. If it turns out that it''s not available within the file upload mechanism; then, I can pass it. It''s just that I don''t want to go that route if there is an easier way. Thanks for the input. ... doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

That''s what I''m trying to tell you. If you are using a multipart form to upload your file, then the #original_filename attribute should be available on the uploaded file object.
