Well, typically, and I think, usually, the files would reside on the server and you would use a database to maintain records of the files...filenames, title, content description, etc.
Then you would access the database to pull up the information with links to the documents, themselves. -----Original Message----- From: fun and learning [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 9:13 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Storing uploaded files Hi, I am working on a functionality where the user has to upload files.
