Cffile

I am using a cffile to delete a file from a directory on my server. On occasion I get an error stating that the file doesn't exist when in fact it does. I am using an absolute directory path: here is an example for my code.
    <cfif isDefined("Form.filename")>
    <cffile action="delete" file="C:\root\images\#Form.filename#">
    </cfif>
Prior to this running, I am uploading a file with a different name in the same directory.

I had something to the same issue you are having, and after pulling almost all my hair out over several weeks, I cam across this.
#71110 page 16 in http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/801/cf801releasenotes.pdf
'Under heavy load, the cffile tag might attempt to create two temporary files with the same
name, resulting in problems such as missing file errors when trying to access a file.'
Althought I had different names, there is a hot fix out there that helped me.
The fix that helped me was:

I was working with flex and coldfusion 8 but this might help.

How do I use CFTHREAD in combination with CFFILE Upload

I've been reading how CFTHREAD is supposed to release the
client so that long-lasting operations like a CFFILE upload can
continue to do their business while the client does something else.
How does this work exactly? I can't find any concrete
references. For example, I have a regular file upload form. A user
uploads a large file, say 100Mb, and I want to use CFTHREAD (or
something) to handle the upload process, which I know may take
hours depending on the connection, and immediately return the page
for the client saying "Your file is being processed. Please check
back later."
I tried wrapping some CFFILE code with CFTHREAD, but when I
ran it the page just sat there working while the file was being
uploaded, so I did not witness any change whatsoever in how its
being handled. What am I missing?
<cfthread action="run" name="uploadVideo">
<cffile
action="upload"
destination = "/var/www/video1/assetsIN"
nameconflict="overwrite"
filefield="video" />
</cfthread>
Thanks for any help.
UPDATE: I asked Ben Forta this in an email yesterday and here
was his response:
What you are doing is correct. The actual file processing
(getting the uploaded file) will not happen in a separate thread.
Were you expecting a separate thread for the upload itself? CF
can’t do that for you s CF does not have the file until it is
uploaded. Actually, CF is not even called until the form is
submitted (which includes the file being uploaded). It sounds like
you want the browser to do an upload in the background. This may be
doable using JavaScript and Ajax type controls. Or maybe using
browser tabs or something. -Ben

With file uploads the time consumption is between the client
PC and the web
server, not the web server and the CF server (which are
usually on the same
machine). All <cffile action="upload"> does is copy the
uploaded file from
the web server's temp upload dir to [wherever you tell it to
go]: it's a
local process, and should be fairly quick; certainly compared
to the
process of getting it to the web server in the first place.
Even if the data transmission was between the client PC and
the CF server,
you can't expect <cfthread> to somehow increase the
bandwitdh and speed up
the file upload between the two machines.
<cfthread> could come into its own if you had some file
processing to
perform on the file *after* it's uploaded: unzipping it,
doing some image
manipulation, parsing a CSV file into a DB, that sort of
thing. Not for
the initial upload.

CFFILE Delete Error???

I am trying to delete a file from a directory and am getting
an error. The funny thing is that the file is actually deleting and
then throwing the error. Has anybody experienced this? I am on a
linux box running CFMX 7.
ERROR:
The destination
"/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/1881_1.tif"
specified in the CFFILE tag is invalid.
The destination either does not exist or is not accessible by
this tag
Why is it saying destination? I do not get it?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank You,
Frank

I believe the "Destination" piece is just they way they refer
to the fiel you are deleting. I wouldnt dwell on it too much.
As for the error, verify that the account used to run the
ColdFusion service has access to that directory. It seems to be a
permissions error.

Multiple cffile upload issues

Hello all. I'm having a little issue with a multiple upload I
am trying to achieve. I've been searching and searching but could
not find an answer, and maybe you guys could help me. Well I'm
doing multiple uploads on a form i created and it's uploading the
file and file name correctly, but it's inserting 6 records
everytime I'm hitting the submit button. Also, I've notice in my
database is when you click the submit button, it's inserting the
same file in one record 6 times, then it creates a new record and
inserts the second file 6 times. I'm going to post the code here,
maybe it's something I'm missing, not sure. Thanks for the help.

of course it will do everything 6 times since you have your
whole code
wrapped with cfloop from 1 to 6... so the code execution will
happen 6
times... plus your synatx for inserting filenames inside your
query
makes it insert same file 6 times (since the code is inside
one same
cfloop)...
you should separate your code and wrap only the cffile part
in a cfloop:
<cfif isDefined("form.upload")>
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="6">
<cfif len(trim(form.pic#i#)) gt 0>
<cffile action="upload"
destination="D:\Hosting\streetzmag\dev\crush_images\"
filefield="pic#i#"
nameconflict="makeunique"
result="uploadedpic_#i#"
accept="image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/gif" >

Server side validation for file type with cffil sent via cfmail problem

Hello;
I have a small app that I need to allow users to be able to use a form, and send me and email with a file attachment. I have it working nicely, I included file manipulation into the validation process of the form and required form fields. The problem I'm having, is this. I'm trying to create and instance where if they try and upload lets say a pdf, it throws and error: "You are trying to upload the wrong file, please try again we only accept bla bla bla" Problem is, even if I'm uploading the proper file, it's rejecting it and deleting it. Can someone help me fix this? I've tried a number of different ways and can't seem to get this to go off properly. I am posting some of the code. There is a ton, so I'm posting the main parts so you get the idea and see my variables.

<cfparam name="FORM.descript" type="string" default=""/>
<cfparam name="FORM.attachment_1" type="string" default=""/>
<cfset arrErrors = ArrayNew( 1 ) />
<cfset showForm = true>
<cfif structKeyExists(form, "sendcomments")>
<cfif NOT len(trim(FORM.name))>
<cfset ArrayAppend(arrErrors,"Your Full Name!<br>") />
</cfif>

<cfif NOT Len(Trim(FORM.attachment_1))>
<cfset ArrayAppend(arrErrors,"You didn't attach a file!<br>") />
<cfelseif ArrayLen( arrErrors )>
<cftry>
<cffile action="DELETE" file="#FORM.resume#"/>
<cfcatch>

</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfelse>

<cftry>
<cfset request.AcceptImage="image/gif,image/jpg,image/jpeg,image/pjpeg,image/x-png">
<cffile action="upload"
                 filefield="attachment_1"
                 accept="#request.AcceptImage#"
                 destination="c:\websites\187914Kg3\uploads\"
                 nameconflict="Makeunique">

<cfif NOT ListFindNoCase("request.AcceptImage",CFFILE.ServerFileExt)>
<cfset ArrayAppend(arrErrors,"Only JPEG, GIF, and PNG file formats are accepted!<br>") />

<cftry>
<cffile action="DELETE" file="#CFFILE.ServerDirectory#\#CFFILE.ServerFile#"/>
<cfcatch>

</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfif>

Can anyone help me out. I can make more of this code available if needed. Like i said, there's a lot and I didn't want to dump it all out, this is the section creating the problem. There are no errors at this time, just rejecting all file types.
thank you.

It appears you are comparing your content_length with 1MB.

Using cffile to make a unicode textfile

Hi, I am trying to make a unicode text file from a query, I
can make the file as a .csv file no problem using chr(34) as the
field seperateor character, and all works fine, However I want to
create a unicode .txt file that is identical to the same as the
file created by excel when I save a .csv as a unicode .txt. After
looking around in the cfforum I think I have learnt that I need to
use charset=utf-8 attribute in cffiel, but I am not sure what I
need to use as the seperator character (ie what does excel use?
when it saves as a unicode txt file) many thanks
Oli

You can try the code in the following example.
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?id=1197&enable=1
In order to save the file in Unicode you can use such as
following syntax.
<cffile action="write" charset="utf-8"
file="#myPath#unicodeFile.txt" output="#myUnicodeContent#" />

Using a Forward Slash (/) in CFFILE Destination

Hi everyone,
I couldn't find this anywhere in the forums (at least not
searching for "cffile forward slash", "cffile /", or "cffile
destination") and hope I'm posting this in the correct place
(please let me know if not). I need to use a forward slash (/) in
the name of a file using cffile, but when I try to set destination
= "c:\directory\file/name.txt" cf throws an exception and tells me
that the system can't find the "c:\directory\file\" directory. Is
there a way to froce ColdFusion to interpret the forward slash as
part of the file name instead of a directory structure character?
By the way I'm using ColdFusion 6.1 Standard Edition on a Windows
box (obviously).

The above sounds right and seems to be generally correct in
practice (I'm testing by transferring files from OSX to Windows),
with the exception of the "/" character. It's possible that "/"
isn't, in fact, illegal to a *nix OS, but just isn't valid as a
file name in any applications (including those that ship wtih the
OS).
However, It's also possible (read: probable) that I have no
idea what I'm talking about. I'll see what I can find and post it
here, would be good to know as I'm sure others have run into this
(and I'm sure this won't be the last time I'm given a ridiculous
naming convention).

Creating a directory before using cffile

I'm having trouble using cffile right before I create a directory. I am using the cffileupload tag and my url attribute is a page that has the following code. Basically the code below creates a new directory and uploads all the images to that directory. However, it fails on the 2nd upload and i get a 500 error in the cffileupload flash object. However, if I hardcode the directory path, they all upload fine. Anyone know why I am having this problem?

<cfset uploadFolderPath = "C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\MyApplication\uploads\" />
<cfset date=DateFormat(Now(),'mm-dd-yyyy_') />
<cfset time=TimeFormat(Now(),'hh-mm-ss') />
<cfset newFolderName = "upload_" & date & time />
<cfset newFolder = uploadFolderPath & newFolderName />
<cfdirectory action = "create" directory="#newFolder#" />
<cffile action="uploadall" destination="#newFolder#" nameconflict="makeunique" />

It seems unlikely to be your problem, but be aware that <cffileupload> calls that URL once for each file uploaded, not just once. That means the <cfdirectory> could conceivably be called twice within the same second, meaning the second call to it might fail because the dir already exists.
You should probably check the dir exists before just assuming you're OK to create it.

How to set destination for cffile

Dear all ,
I have a problem with <cffile> :
my CFM file is in : http://www.demo.com/panel/upload.cfm
i want to store the file in http://demo.com/gallery/news folder
so :
<cfset file_name="demo.jpg">
<cffile nameconflict="overwrite" action = "upload" fileField = "n_file" destination = "../gallery/news/#file_name#">
but i get error and i can not save it. i ask my friend and he told me should use full destination path lik "c:\website\demo.com\www\gallery\new" . is it currect ? and if yes , how can i get the server web folder path , because its not fix in all the server and may be different in any server , also i use the MacOX and file system is not same as windows .

You are almost there. The destination should be an absolute path to the directory in which the uploaded file will be stored.
<cffile nameconflict="overwrite" action = "upload" fileField = "n_file" destination = "#expandPath('..\gallery\news')#">

Simple file loader with cffile

Hello;
I'm trying to make a basic file loader for my web site. I've written the file upload, and it works. I'll attach that code. I was wondering if someone could help me over this small hurdle I need to get past... let me explain.
I have an admin section in my web site. This file loader is to add new thumbnail images to a db record and show it on the front end. There is an option to either edit and existing record, or add a new record.
When you get to the editor, I'm putting in a link for a pop up window that has this file loader in it. What I want to do it after you load this file, I need it to be able to close the window and add it to the editor section so the file name can be loaded into the database.
Is this possible and kind of simple? I realize nothing is too simple doing this kind of programming, I'm just trying to find a decent solution that works. Maybe there is a tutorial out there for this kind of thing? Or maybe someone can help me with a couple lines of code so I can take it from there?
This is my file loader:
<cfset UploadFolder="c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\website\img\babies">
<cfif IsDefined("Form.UploadFile") AND Form.UploadFile NEQ "">
<cffile
     action="upload"
        filefield="UploadFile"
        destination="#UploadFolder#"
        nameconflict="overwrite"
        >
File uploaded successfully!
    <br />
    Uploaded file: <cfoutput>#cffile.ClientFile#</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
Select a file first!
</cfif>
<form name="UploadForm" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="">
<input type="file" name="UploadFile">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload"/>
</form>
I can also post the db code for the page I'm loading it into if need be. I would have to refresh the page I believe to get the info from the pop up to the parent window that spawned it. I have a script for that:
<a href="javascript:opener.top.location=('/test/edit-record.cfm');" onclick= "javascript:window.close();">close window</a>
can anyone help me make this work properly? OR point me in a direction of a tutorial for a simple file loader of this type?
thank you.

I was wondering if Ajax would be a good solution. Can you tell me this
? I have a file loader I use all the time, but on this server, it's not working properly. Can you look at my code and possibly tell me why? I
know this is a lot of code I'm pasting, but it is pretty strait forward. It doesn't thrown an error, it just doesn't load the file
at all.
I would rather use this, I have it all written:


<cfparam name="fileuploaded" type="boolean" default="false">
<cfparam name="uploadedfile" default="">
<cfset pathToFile = "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\website\img\babies">

Get the renamed filename after cffile rename

Use the variable cffile.serverfile
Also, do a <cfdump var="#cffile#"> and you'll see all
the variables available to you.

Uploading documents using CFFile

I am using CFFile for uploading documents using Cold Fusion 8
in my Intranet environment. Each record has a limit of 20 documents
that can be uploaded into MySQL database. It seems if I upload
mulitple documents at around 1mb it takes less than a minute to
complete. The problem seems to be when I upload muliptle documents
that are bigger.
If I attempt to upload 2 documents each over 25mb it takes
around 10 minutes.
Anyone have suggestions on alternatitve way to do this or
should I just limit size of each upload to 4mb and less?

Intermittent error with CFFILE copy

I have a problem that's driving me nuts and I don't see it in
here already (I apologize if it is and I just missed it).
We have ColdFusion 5.0 (yes, I know it's old) and I've been
using it for an in-house billing program. One of the things it does
is use CFFILE to copy a PDF version of the bill to the boss's
machine. This what that part of the code looks like:
<cffile action="COPY"
source="\\testweb\wwwroot\Billing\invoices\#attachment#"
destination="\\Obi-wan\Data\Glenns Code Backup\QB
invoices\#attachment#">
This is an example of what I get:
Error processing CFFILE
Unable to copy file
'\\testweb\wwwroot\Billing\invoices\Emmi_Solutions,_LLC-Mulert-Asthma_Action_Plans-Round_ 1-No_7661.pdf'
to path '\\Obi-wan\Data\Glenns Code Backup\QB
invoices\Emmi_Solutions,_LLC-Mulert-Asthma_Action_Plans-Round_1-No_7661.pdf'.
Error: The system cannot find the file specified. (error 2).
The file has been created. It's THERE. I can open it. And
sometimes this works without an error! Up until today, when we got
this error, I'd reboot the CF server (testweb) and then it would
work. Today, I've rebooted the server several times and it just
won't.
Any ideas?

Below is the Snippet of code.
It never makes it past this first line. It almost seems like
something on IIS5. I creates the file,but stops at 1048 kb. But
this is weird, when the error message appears, the file becomes
7.8m. The entire file is 8megs
<CFFILE ACTION="Upload"
FILEFIELD=#Attributes.SourceField#
DESTINATION="#TargetFile#.tmp"
NAMECONFLICT="MAKEUNIQUE" ATTRIBUTES="Temporary">
<CFSET FileName = CFFile.ClientFile>
<CFSET FileSize = CFFile.FileSize>

<CF_MIME EXTENSION=#File.ClientFileExt#
TYPE=#File.ContentType# SUBTYPE=#File.ContentSubType#>

<CFFILE ACTION="Rename" SOURCE="#TargetFile#.tmp"
DESTINATION="#TargetFile#" ATTRIBUTES="Normal">

Looping over CFFILE only writes last line

Here is the code in question:
<CFSET LINECOUNT = 0>
<cfloop list="#populate#" index="CL">
      <CFOUTPUT>#CL#:<input type="text" name="#CL#"><BR></CFOUTPUT>
      <CFSET LINECOUNT = LINECOUNT + 1>
      <CFSET ThisNewLine = '<input type="text" name="#CL#">#CL#'>
      <cffile action="append" file="#Application.BaseRef#Temp\#URL.Field#.CFM" output="#ThisNewLine#" addnewline="Yes">
</cfloop>
Linecount = <CFOUTPUT>#LineCount#</CFOUTPUT>
The list populate# has 28 items in it, the output to the screen is 28 lines of input boxes, the line count variable value is 28 but only one line (The last line) is written to the file.
What is the world am I overlooking?
Thanks,
Kev

Well, I went to clean up my code to get rid of all the debug "stuff" I put in there trying to determine the root cause so I could post the whole shebang for you and after I removed all the "stuff" I executed it again to make sure that I didn't introduce a new error and whatever was causing the problem is now no longer there. I apologize to the community for wasting the bandwidth.
If ignorance is bliss, why am I not happy?

CFFILE Holding File Locks

I have a CF page that reads some tab-delimited text files for
processing. After it reads a file it then calls a CF page to move
the file to a new location. It moves the file, but it does not
delete the old version -- and a filesystem delete on the file fails
-- it appears as if the CF server has the file locked. If I shut
down the server and restart it, it clears the lock.
<cfif #url.vendor# is "LOWES">
<cflock timeout="10" scope="server" throwOnTimeout="no"
type="exclusive">
<cffile action="move"
source="c:\edifiles\export\#url.fileno#"
destination="c:\edifiles\export\done\lowes\#url.fileno#">
</cflock>
</cfif>

Generally when manipulating files you used a named
<cflock> instead of a scope like so:
<cflock name="#Variables.myFileName#" timeout="5"
type="exclusive">
In your code in the second example I'm not sure about the
function of the loop at all... I guess you are trying to delay to
make sure the copy operation completes before deleting. But looping
from 1 to 10 is arbitrary and depending on other concurrent
processes, server speed, RAM, etc. and so basically it is
unreliable.
