You use the <input type="text"> tag to get the file and have the <FORM> do
an on Submit call to a function that checks everything in your user defined
list of allowed extensions against the letters after the period. You are
not accessing the local file system merely the name of the file. That way
the form will only submit if it is one of your file types. The rest is easy
using CFFTP, or CFFILE, and CFDIRECTORY.

How do you check the file extension with JavaScript? I thought one of the
security features built into JS would not allow you to access local file
systems.
