I had learned from my first efforts with CFFile that it doesn't actually upload the file itself, rather it just transfers it from the server's temp directory to the specified target directory, or to the application's memory. From what I understand, the file form field data just gives a path to the uploaded file in the temp directory. That said, even though CFFile may not be working as advertised - ie it chokes on files over a certain size, there are still ways you can upload the file and process the uploaded file using the java.io.String and FileReader classes. Samuel Neff gives a very nice discussion on how to do this on his blog: http://www.rewindlife.com/archives/000023.cfm The problem is though that the files are quite large and at the other end of a slow connection, and still using http. The only work around here is to use a client side Java applet to handle the upload. hth, larry -- Larry C.
