mode=444
To give a file or directory owner read/write/execute permissions and read only
permissions for everyone else:
mode=744
Evaluating the Results of a File Upload
After a file upload is completed, you can retrieve status information using file upload
variables. This status information includes a wide range of data about the file, such
as the file's name and the directory where it was saved.
Although you can use either the File or cffile prefix, for file uploaded status variables,
cffile is preferred; for example, cffile.ClientDirectory. (The File prefix is retained for
backward compatibility.) You can use the file status variables anywhere that you use
ColdFusion variables.
The following table describes the file status variables that are available after an
upload:
Variable
attemptedServerFile
clientDirectory
clientFile
clientFileName
