If you are creating the directory based on some kind of form input, you need to trim it. This is particularly troublesome when you are using multipart forms. Here is some code I used recently to do just that and it works fine on a Mac:
<cfdirectory action="create" directory="#request.fileroot##trim(form.emailusername)#"> ------------------------------ Chris Latko, Technology Group Ashley Associates ------------------------------ > I am trying to create a folder if it does not exist for uploading files. It > works flawlessly on IE 60, however on a MAC, I get the following error: > > The directory specified: (G:\upload\Larry_New ) could not be created. Error: > The > filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. > The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of > (CFDIRECTORY), occupying document position (61:3) to (61:67) in the template > file G:\upload\upload.cfm. > > Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. > > Larry Juncker > Senior Cold Fusion Developer > Heartland Communications Group, Inc. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
