Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
source |
Pathname of the on-disk or in-memory file to copy. If not an absolute path (starting with a drive letter and a colon, or a forward or backward slash), it is relative to the ColdFusion temporary directory, which is returned by the getTempDirectory function. |
destination |
Pathname of an on-disk or in-memory directory or file on the web server where the file is copied. If you specify a filename without a directory path, ColdFusion copies it relative to the source directory. |
Usage
Use the following syntax to specify an in-memory file or directory, which is not written to disk. In-memory files speed processing of transient data.
ram:///filepath |
The filepath can include directories, for example ram:///petStore/images/poodle.jpg. Create the directories in the path before you specify the file. For more information on using in-memory files, see Working with in-memory files in the Developing ColdFusion Applications.
Example
The following example copies the test1.txt file from the c:\testingdir\ directory to the c:\productiondir\ directory in Windows and names the new copy of the file test2.txt:
