Use the form to submit file and other data about remotipart

Not sure what you mean with this one. How are you adding data and files to .ajax(). You should just be using :remote => true in your rails form.

I need to pass file to upload and other form data in .ajax request. It works quite well with just one file. Usually I just pass $("form").serialize but wiht .ajax it doesn't work

@fokcep according to the jQuery API, file fields in a form will not be serialized.

http://api.jquery.com/serialize/

"Note: Only "successful controls" are serialized to the string. No submit button value is serialized since the form was not submitted using a button. For a form element's value to be included in the serialized string, the element must have a name attribute. Values from checkboxes and radio buttons (inputs of type "radio" or "checkbox") are included only if they are checked. Data from file select elements is not serialized."

Thanks for following up on this @btushinde. I'm closing this for now, as it doesn't seem to be a remotipart issue. Let me know if I missed anything and need to reopen it.
