<CFFILE ACTION="UPLOAD" .....>

[Rachel80]

I've no problem with uploading files into my local directory(drive C. But what I need is to upload them onto the server, so that other workstation can view/access my shared files. I change the destination path to my server path but it fails... My server is 'FRUITS'.<br><br>&lt;cffile action=&quot;UPLOAD&quot; filefield=&quot;imagefile&quot; <br> destination=&quot;\\FRUITS\notice_uploads\#session.user#&quot;<br> nameconflict=&quot;MAKEUNIQUE&quot; <br> accept=&quot;image/jpg, image/pjpeg, image/gif,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;image/bmp, image/tiff&quot;&gt;<br><br>The error I got was:<br><br>Error processing CFFILE<br><br>The directory specified in the DESTINATION attribute of the CFFILE tag (\\FRUITS\notice_uploads\mgr200\) is not valid. The directory either does not exist or is not accessible by the ColdFusion service.<br><br>How can I specify the server pathname so that I can upload files onto the server? or do I use &quot;http:// ....&quot;?<br>Please help, thanx alot!<br><br><br>

The destination has to be the physical path - d:\whatever\blah\blah

huh?? u mean i can't use server path?? but ColdFusion allows uploading to server rite? the Help Library does not have examples for uploading onto server...(only onto local drive)

 

[Rachel80]

can anybody tell me the syntax of coding the uploading of files onto the SERVER? <br>do i need any mapping of network drives to a shared directory to a server?<br>or is it just a normal upload statement?<br>(destination=&quot;c:\xxx\xxx\xx&quot<br><br>Thank you

Example: I am uploading an image from the user's computer to my server (live, not local server). Here is the code for the cffile tag: <b>&lt;CFFILE ACTION=&quot;UPLOAD&quot; FILEFIELD=&quot;FILE&quot; DESTINATION=&quot;d:\Inetpub\domains\apmoffice\stock\temp\#pic#&quot; NAMECONFLICT=&quot;OVERWRITE&quot;&gt;</b><br><br>In other words, you have to know the actual location of where you will be saving the file being uploaded. The server path won't work, thus the error you were getting.

Put<br><br>&lt;cfoutput&gt;#GetTemplatePath()#&lt;/cfoutput&gt;<br><br>in your template to get the actual server path if you don't have access to your server's directory...(Make sure you delete it before production, though..;-)
