Here's the snippet of code I use to upload files. I just pass the name
of the form field to the upload function.
I've used the same approach for years with Fusebox and CFModule. It
works great. I have a couple of dozen applications that all use the
same code to upload files.
<cffunction name="upload" returntype="ManagedFile">
<cfargument name="fieldname" type="string" required="true">
<cfset var f = createObject('component', 'ManagedFile').init()>
<cffile action="UPLOAD"
accept="#variables.acceptedContentTypes#"
filefield="#arguments.fieldName#"
destination="#variables.destinationPath#"
nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE">
<cfset f.setName(CFFILE.clientFile)>
<cfset f.setPath(CFFILE.serverDirectory & "\" &
CFFILE.serverfile)>
<cfset f.setContentType(CFFILE.contentType)>
<cfset f.setSize(CFFILE.fileSize)>
<cfset f.setCreatedDate(Now())>
<cfreturn f>
</cffunction>
I've tried Barney's technique of just copying the temp file as well.
One problem I had is that when you upload a text file CF just
poplulates the form field with the contents of that file. Though I was
able to work around that problem I think I went back to CFFILE
ACTION=UPLOAD because I could use the variables from the CFFILE tag
afterwards, particularly contentType and clientFileName.
