save attachments to database and Rails application public directory

I am new to ROR and learning it.I am using Rails 2.3.5. I have a form where I can attach multiple files. I need to save these attachments in my db and also in a directory in my application directory. I dont want to use paperclip plugin as I need to learn File system as well as how to create dir and save these attachments into it. So any references/tutorials would be highly appreciated. Please help. When I submit the form I get the params in the console as

Processing ReminderPluginController#create_reminder (for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-10-05 19:52:14) [POST]
  Parameters: {"reminder"=>{"subject"=>"Hello", "email"=>"", "body"=>"<p>My first thing</p>"}, "attachments"=>[#<File:/tmp/RackMultipart20131005-8107-o8osmj-0>, #<File:/tmp/RackMultipart20131005-8107-1n1k7pz-0>], "controller"=>"reminder_plugin", "select_batch"=>{"batch"=>"2"}, "recipients"=>"20", "select_department"=>{"department"=>""}, "commit"=>"Send", "authenticity_token"=>"pKT8//ESD5SWvSuelVpOiHw3k30RxrqDOODckUToURs=", "action"=>"create_reminder"}

But I have no idea about creating directory and saving attachments in it..

Out of curiosity, why are you learning on Rails 2.3.5 when Rails is now up to version 4? Believe me, there is a world of difference.

But on the question at hand, I think you will find these references useful:
