David,
Check out paperclip. It will allow you to upload to and download from
your local file system (or S3). In the local file system, it stores the
docs in public/system. I am using it for smaller (up to 30Mb) files and
using Pat Shaunessey's version to save the data to db tables (not
recommended for files of the magnitude you mentioned). It works fine
and is really fast to incorporate into your code.

I am writing an app for basically internal use for a client for their
billing process. There are a few large files which need to be uploaded
or added to the system as in input to this process. I am wondering
whether it would be better to set up ftp or whether rails running on
any server (may be just Mongrel as this is an internal app that will
probably have one or a few users max) would handle this file size
gracefully? Does it simply have to do with the memory of the server or
are there other factors? Since this is an internal process it does not
have to be slick like something public facing, most important is
reliability and the files getting uploaded right the first time.
Thanks for input,
David
