You have to set up two things. First you need a form page that has two
things:
1. The <form> tag needs to have method="post" and
enctype="multipart/form-data". This tells the browser to send the file back
to the server correctly.
2. In your form you need an <input type="file"... > tag. This tag will put
in a text box and a "browse" button that will let your visitor select the
file.
On your action page you'll need to make use of the <cffile> tag to copy the
uploaded file into a destination directory. If you've never done this
before, there are some good examples in the various Forta books. I have the
CF Web App Construction Kit 4.0 and it's chapter 28 (Working with Files and
Directories) for me.
Good luck!
