Moving, renaming, copying, and deleting server files

With , you can create application pages to manage files on your web server. You can use
cffile
the tag to move files from one directory to another, rename files, copy a file, or delete a file.
The examples in the following table show static values for many of the attributes. However, the
value of all or part of any attribute in a cffile tag can be a dynamic parameter.
Action
Move a file
Rename a file
Copy a file
Delete a file
This example sets the ReadOnly flag bit for the uploaded file:
<cffile action="Copy"
source="c:\files\upload\keymemo.doc"
destination="c:\files\backup\"
attributes="ReadOnly">
Note: Ensure you include the trailing slash (\) when you specify the destination directory. Otherwise,
ColdFusion treats the last element in the pathname as a filename. This only applies to copy actions.

no file was overwritten.
Directory where the file was saved on the server.

example, myfile.txt.
Name of the file saved on the server without an extension; for example,

(not .txt).
Date and time the uploaded file was created.
Date and time of the last modification to the uploaded file.
