Dyanmic Folders..Is it possible

[Newsgroup_User]

For a project I am working on, I would like it that when the member signs up
for an account, the web site dynamically creates a folder based on the
username that they choose.

Since there is only one unique username, its shouldn't be a problem. I also
have to eliminate the ability for them to choose any of the folders that
already exist, easy enough.

I know how to do this in Classic ASP, but what could I use in Coldfusion to
dynamically create a folder (i.e. mywebsite.com/username)?

Something like
<cfdirectory action="CREATE" directory="X:\mywebsite/#username#">

Thanks!

Also, is it possible to create / copy a standard page to the new directory
for a 'coming soon' page?

Maybe you can read the help docs....

else you can use something like
<cffile action="COPY" source="yourcomingsoonpage.ext"
destination="X:\yourpath\">
