As I understand it, Coldfusion uploads a file to a temporary directory, default location is under the c:\Coldfusion directrory, then when the upload is complete, it copies the uploaded file to the location in the 'destination=' parameter of the CFFILE tag
The destination directory is always under my control and i have access. It's the temporary directory that's the problem..
