cffile action="upload"

SJColtsFn Apr 20, 2006 6:10 AM

I am using the following code for cffile action="upload":

<cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="PDFFileName" destination="/www/websites/bmiinternal/htdocs/resources/publications/"
nameconflict="SKIP" attributes="ReadOnly" accept="application/pdf">

No file upload takes place and cffile.fileExisted returns as NO. However, the file is selcted from a browse window and the file is present in the source directory.

You need to specify the full path name in the destination.

Is the cffile action="upload" an operation where ColdFusion generates JavaScript code behind the scenes to perform the operation, and therefore dependent on ide.cfm being present?

no.

try
<cffile action="UPLOAD"
filefield="PDFFileName"
destination="#expandpath('.')#"
nameconflict="SKIP"
mode="777"
accept="application/pdf">

This is still not working. The cffile variables seem to be indicating that the file is not found even though I use the "Browse" button on the form element to find it:

dateLastAccessed = {d '1969-12-31'}, fileExisted = NO, fileSize = 0, fileWasAppended = NO, fileWasOverwritten = NO, fileWasRenamed = NO, fileWasSaved = NO, oldFileSize = 0

The file does exist, but CFFILE doesn't seem to see it.
