Yes, by changing the enctype on the form tag from multipart/form-data.
However, this renders your upload inoperative.
The filname you are seeing is the name of the mime encoded form results sent
by the client. I suggest you use CFFILE to save the upload file to a temp
directory and use the variables resulting (in the file scope) to control the
over write.
