Ryan,
As you noted in the formField cfargument in your CFC, cffile takes the
*name* ("uploadFile") of the form field containing the uploaded file. So
I see two problems:
1) you're passing the *value* of the form field -- form.uploadFile -- in
your calling code when all you want is the *name*: "uploadFile"
2) in the CFC function where you call <cffile...>, you must specify the
*name* of the form field which is now the *value* in
arguments.fileField, so you just need to wrap that with #'s like so:
<cffile action="upload" destination="#arguments.destination#"
filefield="#arguments.fileField#" accept="#arguments.acceptType#"
nameconflict="#arguments.nameConflict#" />
I think that should do it...
