>>My question, and this is more out of curiosity than anything, is how does CF "remember" the original user's file name of "myFile.txt"
The original name is transmitted in the HTTP request by the browser. This is the purpose of the "multipart" in the ENCTYPE attribute of the form. One of the parts contains the file name, another the encoded file. When the HTTP server receives the information, it stores the encoded file in a temporary location, passes the temporary file name in the form field to CF. CF is responsible to decode the file, including the file name and to store it wherever the programmer decided, this is the purpose of the CFFILE upload. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
