OK, I've now added a Request(Model)Form. The tag is based on <cls.__module__>.<cls.__name__>, so you don't have to manually specify it. FileField takes an optional parameter to override this. Forms currently only allow to set the tag by subclassing. Not sure if this is sufficient. http://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/13960/filetransfers.3.diff I could need some feedback. Does this go in the right direction? Is anything important missing? class UploadForm(RequestModelForm): class Meta: model = bla form = UploadForm(request) render_to_response(... {... 'form': form} ...) <form action="{{ form.upload_url }}"> {{ form }} </form> Apart from that you can call file.serve() and file.download_url() as discussed in the previous posts. You can see another example in the unit tests of my patch. It also contains a delegation backend which allows to easily specify which backend should be used for which app/form/model/field via the settings: DEFAULT_FILE_TRANSFER_BACKENDS = { 'myapp.*': 'some.backend', 'myapp.models.MyModel.s3_file': 'S3Backend', 'otherapp.models.SomeModel.*': 'OtherBackend', } If you need more control you can use FILE_TRANSFER_BACKENDS which works more like the routers API.
