CFFILE
Use the CFFILE tag to handle all interactions with files. The attributes you use with
CFFILE depend on the value of the ACTION attribute. For example, if the ACTION is
"Write, " ColdFusion expects the attributes associated with writing a text file. See the
individual CFFILE topics below for details about which attributes apply to which
ACTIONs.
Note
The Basic Security settings may prevent CFFILE from executing. These
settings are managed using the Basic Security page in the ColdFusion
Administrator. In order for CFFILE to execute, it needs to be enabled on
the Basic Security page.
If you write ColdFusion applications designed to run on a server that is used by
multiple customers, you need to consider the security of the files that could be
uploaded or otherwise manipulated by CFFILE. See Administering ColdFusion
Serverfor more information about securing ColdFusion tags.
