file uploads and MM documentation

by Eric Jones

I’m sure by now you’ve all used the cffile tag to upload a file to your server or to read a file already on your server etc.

Chris Cantrell points out a tid bit I’m sure a few of you didn’t realize, especially if you follow the ColdFusion docs to the letter.

This tid bit has to do with uploading and renaming a file all in one step instead of using 2 cffile tags, one to upload and the other to rename / move the file.

The short story is that instead of just specifying the path to upload to you can specify the path and file name.
