I've done this with a CSV file in the past. I used CFFILE in conjunction with CFFTP to upload the file and move it to a web-accessible location. Then, I read the CSV file using CFHTTP as a query. For my purposes, I had to do some pre-processing on the CSV file to ensure that CFHTTP would read it properly, and that was a pain, but once that was done it worked pretty well.
