Make a new column in your uploaded_files model called 'slug' or whatever you like (and index it, too!). Either alter your show method or make a new get_file method in your controller, which should look like this: @uploaded_file = UploadedFile.find_by_slug(params[:slug]) In your routes.rb, add a line like this (fairly low in the list, so it doesn't clobber the other routes) match '/:slug', :to => 'uploaded_files#show' That should do the trick. Here's a way to make a very terse code for your URL: def set_slug code = Array.new(7) { (('A'..'Z').to_a + (0..9).to_a)[rand(36)] }.join.to_s if UploadedFile.find_by_slug(code) return self.set_slug() else self.slug = code end end Call it in an after_create.
