Theres this long accepted method for getting them in/out of the...

I'm trying to do file uploads with ruby 1.8 and it seems like there are no good out-of-the-box solutions. They all seem to need some 3rd party patch or fork of a project to work.

I'm asking because there is a lot of data I need to monitor which results in me transferring close to...
