If FTP is the way to upload files, why is there a CFFILE tag for this?
I'm reluctant to give my users FTP access to the web site. The uploads
need to go to 6 different folders, depending on the nature of the file.
With CFFILE, I can let them select the proper folder, limit access to
only those selected folders, and control the type of file that can be
uploaded. My users don't need to know or negotiate the file structure of
the site.
Is there a way this can be done with FTP? I suppose I could set up a
bunch of separate limited FTP accounts, but the CFFILE approach seems to
be optimum.
Other than uploading large files, around 80 MB or larger, this has
worked fine, and it still works fine with Mozilla. IE will upload files
as large as 30 MB, but it
seems to choke on an 80MB file. I have not done enough testing to
determine where the actual choke point lies. 64 MB maybe?

IE can only upload files up to 2 GB or 4 GB (one of the two...) anything
smaller should work.

The thing that has me stumped about the upload, and seems to point to an
issue with IE, is that Mozilla uploads the large file, using the exact
same CF pages, that have no browser-specific code, without any problem.

CF7 and earlier have to load the entire file into memory when doing
uploads - so with large files you can run into heap problems. CF8
uses a different method.
It was possibly coincidence that you only noticed the problem using
IE?
Moving to 8 might solve the problem.

To deal with my upload issue, my ISP wants to switch my site from CF7
to CF8. I am inclined to do so.
Are there any Gotcha's I need to be aware of?
