With really big files you may not want to read the entire file into memory the way <cffile> does. I've seen some folks user Java file i/o calls to get around this, essentially inline Java calls to read the file line by line. This will be slower, but, it'll work.

Well this isn't quite the same old question, and its my fault for not being clear. I'm asking strictly about the READ attribute. I already have the file placed on the server via SSH. And the plot has thickened since I first posted. What I am finding is I can get the file into memory (an 89 mb file so far) but once its in there CF doesn't have any playing-around room and crashes with an out-of-memory error doing some after-read processing. Am looking into how I can increase how much memory CF can address now. Server has 2gb and looks like I can't take more than 1.128gb.
