RE: CFFILE - multiple file uploads
In your cffile tag, you are telling cf to upload a file it found in a field called filename (not the name it finds in a variable called 'filename') so it's looking for a file field called 'filename' every time it loops. Try this for starters... cffile action=UPLOAD destination=D:\mypath\mypics nameconflict=makeunique filefield=#filename# ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

RE: CFFILE - multiple file uploads
I don't think this is going to work. But there I think there are some syntax problems. input type=File name=#myFileName#/br / I think this line needs a value parameter. You have a dynamic name for the field, but no value for it. But this may be the Achilles heel of this process. IIRC you can not dynamically set the value of file type inputs. This is a HTML standard issue to prevent unsavory website developers from tricking naive users to upload sensitive files from their system. If you do get the above to work, then there is a problem with this line: cffile action=UPLOAD destination=D:\mypath\mypics nameconflict=makeunique filefield=filename I believe that should be: Filefield=#filename# Otherwise you are specifying a filed name the string filename not the value of the filename variable. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA C code.

CFTTP and multiple file uploads??
Could anyone advise me on the following: Is there anyway of uploading more than 1 file at a time using the cffile and input type=file etc? My predicament is the following: The client has a folder on his c: drive full of images (up to 60, it will be the same folder every time) so instead of uploading them to the server one at a time give him the ability to upload them either all at once or batches of 10 etc. My initial thoughts are to use CFTTP and cfdirectory etc. Has anyone done this before or have any advise. Any advise will be welcome.
