It's hard to make out what you mean, so I'll sum up what I *think* you're asking: - you've got an HTML file someplace outside of RAILS_ROOT/public, that you render for the client when they request the open_file controller method. - images in that file don't display. If that's the case: of COURSE they aren't going to display. The HTML file is returned, but the link to the image likely looks like this: <img src="some_image.png" /> What is the actual path that comes up in the address bar when you click on the link? I'd bet that it's NOT: /controller_name/open_file/path/to/some/file as the file_path parameter is probably getting escaped... --Matt Jones
