FileUpload

destination

Path of directory in which to upload the file. 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 returned by the function getTempDirectory. If the destination you specify does not exist, ColdFusion creates a file with the specified destination name. For example, if you specify the destination C:\XYZ, ColdFusion creates a file XYZ in the C: drive.

accept

Limits the MIME types to accept. Comma-delimited list. For example, the following code permits JPEG and Microsoft Word file uploads:"image/jpg,application/msword".The browser uses the filename extension to determine file type.

nameConflict

Action to take if file has the same name of a file in the directory.

• Error: File is not saved. ColdFusion stops processing the page and returns an error.
• Skip: File is not saved. This option permits custom behavior based on file properties.
• Overwrite: Replaces file.
• MakeUnique: Forms a unique filename for the upload; name is stored in the file object variable serverFile.

fileField

Name of form field used to select the file. Do not use number signs (#) to specify the field name.
