Mike, If I can recall correctly. If you are using a form with an enctype="multipart/form-data" and using that variable as your remotefile. It usually has a temp variable from windows. like this. C:\WINNT\ACF56.tmp
I usually force the extention on the remotefile. Here is an example of code that I use for ftp images to the server. <cfset ImageName = lookuprec.rec_id & '.jpg'> <cfftp action="OPEN" server="#variables.systemurl#" username="#variables.systemftpusername#" password="#variables.systemftppassword#" stoponerror="Yes" connection="ServerConnection" retrycount="5"> <cfftp action="CHANGEDIR" stoponerror="Yes" directory="images\topstory\" connection="ServerConnection"> <cfftp action="PUTFILE" stoponerror="Yes" localfile="#form.picturename#" remotefile="#Variables.ImageName#" transfermode="AUTO" connection="ServerConnection"> <cfftp action="CLOSE" stoponerror="Yes" connection="ServerConnection"> I don't know if this will help or not.
