The file information from the client machine is stored in a series of variables called cffile.clientfile[whatever] so cffile.clientfile will give you the name of the file and cffile.clientfileext will give you the extension of the file from the client machine... all of the same information for the file which gets stored on the server ( the uploaded copy ) are stored in a series of variables called cffile.serverfile[whever] ... All of this is in the docs for CFFILE, though it can take some getting used to -- p.s. unfortunately the variables returned from cffile during an upload are not in a structure in CF 5 and prior, they're all just individual variables -- which stinks, but what can you do. :)
