</div>

my form

\<%= form\_tag :action =\> 'upload', :id =\> @property.id %\>  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= file\_field 'images', 'name' %\>  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= submit\_tag "send" %\>  
\<%= end\_form\_tag %\>

@user = "new\_image"  
File.open("#{RAILS\_ROOT}/public/images/#{@user}.jpg", "wb") do |f|  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.write(@params['name'])  
end

and ? and nothing o got new\_image.jpg file but is empty

I wa trying like  
f.write(File.open(@params['image\_file']).read)  
than A got error

Can't convert Array into String

</div>

Should that be:

\<%= form\_tag({:action =\> "upload", :id =\> @property}, :multipart =\> true) %\>

?
