"So there is no other way to create a CF upload service without sending the file through HTTP as a multi-part request? I have tried everything, such as having a cfargument named "File" and type as any or binary and it just dies on me.."
Define what you mean by "file upload". CF runs on the server it does not have direct access to the client file system and never will. This is a universal security issue. So you will have to use some method for the client to voluntarily send the file to the server. A multi-part HTTP request is the most well known way I understand to do this. If the client and server share a network such as a corporate network it would be very easy to create a watch directory where the client could dump files and a modern CF server with gateways could watch the directory.
