h3. Uploading Files
A common task is uploading some sort of file, whether it's a picture of a person or a CSV file containing data to process. The most important thing to remember with file uploads is that the form's encoding *MUST* be set to "multipart/form-data". If you forget to do this the file will not be uploaded. This can be done by passing +:multi_part => true+ as an HTML option. This means that in the case of +form_tag+ it must be passed in the second options hash and in the case of +form_for+ inside the +:html+ hash.
