I've considered that and it's a possibility. What I'm really looking for is how to access where CF is internally holding the filename between the time it is uploaded to the web server and the time you process it with cffile upload.
I learned something interesting though: If you upload a file and then use cfhttp to upload the temp file to the same server, it throws a name conflict. Is it using an encrypted version of the original file name for the temporary file? It's not random, or timestamp based apparently!
