No. For security reasons CF doesn't allow this. You might be able to allow CFFILE to default to A: drive when the user clicks on the browse button in an upload form

I understand the CFFILE action="read" is only for reading of file residing in the server's machine. So what other method can i use then? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
