I got to thinking about this even more...
This is browser-webserver interface problem:
it is the browser's responsibility to provide access to the local file
for upload (sometimes the browser copiesthe file to a local temp file
that it creates).
Then the browser sends the file with the form to the web server.
the web server receives the file and saves it in some temporary area.
then the web server passes the information to the cfm template
specified in the form action.
It appears as if there is something wrong with the browser or web
server.
It is not a CF problem.
