Les,
You don't need to have a dedicated server to do this. As long as you have
access to CFFILE and CFMAIL tags, you'll be able to get the job done.
The process is simple. Write a form page that requests for the file on the
client. Use CFFILE to upload the file onto your website or off-website
directory. You may want to create a temporary subdirectory to save the files
in. Then simply use the CFMAIL mimeattach attribute (or CFMAILPARAM if
you're using CF 4.5) to attach the file/s. That's all there is to it.

Subject: Sending an attachment vie email (CF Newbie)
I've got a client, that against my advice, wishes to have a form on his site
that a customer can use to email a file attachment (such as a Word or Excel
file) to the intended recipient.
No problem building the form or anything, but I'm not sure how to go about
getting the file emailed.
I suppose that it needs:
1. email file from customer to server
2. email file from server to recipient
I do *NOT* have server access as it's shared hosting.
Could somebody please point me in the correct direction to do this?
Thanks in advance!
