[thelist] ColdFusion CFFILE Upload help

Have you tried using nameConflict="MakeUnique" in the CFFILE tag? If that works (which, honestly, I don't think has much of a chance), you can then do whatever kind of voodoo you want to the file name after the fact by messing with the cffile.serverFile variable.

You may need to resort to telling your clients to name their files something within the realm of sane. Something cries out crazy when a file is named something. [with the . on the end of course]

Hi,

When trying to upload a file with a period at the end of the file name (ex:
txt file 'test.') CF throws this error:

The path, 'c:\..\test..txt', is illegal. Path specifications cannot include
'..'

Besides telling our clients to come up with better file names, does anyone
know how to trim the trailing period off either before of after the file is
actually uploaded so the file on our server would be test.txt and not
test..txt?

TIA,
Ryan
