Quick and dirty one off migration task for paperclip plugin to move files from local filesystem to Amazon S3.
# First configure your models to use Amazon s3 as storage option and setup the associated S3 config.
# Then add the classes your want to migrate in the klasses array below.
# Then run rake paperclip_migration:migrate_to_s3
# Should work but this is untested and may need some tweaking - but it did the job for me.
namespace :paperclip_migration do
desc "migrate files from filesystem to s3"
task :migrate_to_s3 => :environment do
klasses = [:model_1, :model_2] # Replace with your real model names. If anyone wants to this could be picked up from args or from configuration.
klasses.each do |klass_key|
if klass = real_klass(klass_key)
if klass.respond_to?(:attachment_definitions) && definitions = klass.attachment_definitions
klass.all.each do |record|
definitions.keys.each do |definition|
if record.send("#{definition}_file_name")
attachment = Paperclip::Attachment.new(definition.to_sym, record, definitions[definition.to_sym].except(:s3_credentials, :storage))
if File.exists?(Rails.root.to_s + "/public" + attachment.url)
file_data = File.open(Rails.root.to_s + "/public" + attachment.url)
puts "Saving file: #{Rails.root.to_s + "/public" + attachment.url} to Amazon S3..."
record.send("#{definition}").assign file_data
record.send("#{definition}").save
else
puts "Can't find file: #{Rails.root.to_s + "/public" + attachment.url} NOT MIGRATING..."
end
end
end
end
else
puts "There are not paperclip attachments defined for the class #{klass.to_s}"
end
else
puts "#{key.to_s.classify} is not defined in this app."
end
end
end
def real_klass(key)
key.to_s.classify.constantize
rescue

Appreciate it!

Another hint: Since attachment.url automatically attaches the timestamp to the url in new Paperclips, the file will not be found. If you pass some arguments to the url method on the attachment you can fix this. See my forked Gist.
