class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :photo, :remote => true
  attr_accessible   :photo, :photo_remote_url
end

In the form you can then have:

<%= f.label :photo, "Please update a photo" %>
<%= f.file_field :photo %>
<br/>
<%= f.label :photo_remote_url, "or specify a URL" %>
<%= f.text_field :photo_remote_url %>
