Could anyone tell me how can achieve this in rails???

This site has some good comparisons of the options, including some outside of Rails.

SWFUpload allows multiple uploads in Rails: http://blog.alastairdawson.com/2006/09/08/multiple-file-upload-with-flash-and-ruby-on-rails/ but I think that would limit your options somewhat. Maybe you could do something with FTP as per this Stackoverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2710080/rails-upload-file-to-ftp-server – marktucks Feb 24 '11 at 10:30
That site is for Rails 2. I'm not sure that it's so useful. – Mörre Mar 08 '11 at 11:59
