Rogelio,
It will arrive in Rails just like any other uploaded file... It will show up
in params[:model][:file_field], or whatever you've named your input file
field. Until you do something else with it, it only lives as a file in
/tmp/. You need to move it somewhere else, though, because Rails will do
away with it once the request is complete :)
Something like:
@file = params[:model][:file_field]
File.open("/path/to/[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "wb") { |file| file.write(@
file.read) }
Would copy the file from it's temp location to /path/to/original_filename on
your box. As you were wondering, it will end up on whatever machine is
hosting the mongrel that the client was connected to. So, you may need to
scp it to an assets server or something when it's done... That's as far as I
can go without knowing more about your setup ;)
Hope this helps!

Philip: at this point I want to upload something... anything. I'm
following the example on the mongrel_upload_plugin and though it says
finished I don't see the file anywhere. I Turned on --debug and I can only
see that it's at least getting the headers (content-type, etc) on the
uploaded file... but nothing on the whereabouts.
Like I mentioned before, I'm very green when it comes to mongrel...
however I'm decently versed in sysadmin *nix stuff... apache and friends.
I'm just needing a nudge in the right direction. :-)
cheers,
