I have tried many paths but it always comes back withe same error.     pls see cod

 

 

 

 

<form action="upLoadFileAction2.cfm"

        enctype="multipart/form-data"

        method="post">

    <p>Enter the complete path and filename of the file to upload:

    <input type="file"

            name="datafile"

            size="125">

    </p>

    <input     type="submit"

            value="Upload">

</form>

         <cffile action="upload"
        destination="S:\LibraryData\FORMS\PROSPECTUS_and_WORKSHEET\NEWkshts/"
        nameConflict="overwrite"

    You didn't tell us the error, but it might have something to do with the forward slash at the end of your destination.

    I changed the forward slash but I am still getting: The form field dataFifle did not contain a file error as seen below.

     

     

    The form field dataFifle did not contain a file.

    The error occurred in C:/Webroot/Crabweb1a/Administration/FormsAdmin/upLoadFileAction2.cfm: line 13

    11 :         destination="S:\LibraryData\FORMS\PROSPECTUS_and_WORKSHEET\NEWkshts\"
12 :         nameConflict="overwrite"
13 :         fileField="dataFifle"

    Did you check the spelling of your form field name carefully? I see dataFile and dataFifle.

     

    Make sure your application.cfm or application.cfc file does not manipulate form.dataFile. I had some logic that trimmed the contents and did some xss filtering -- cffile=upload didn't like that.
