RE: CFFILE UPLOAD / Embedding
I've had time to do more testing on this. From what i can tell it's a bug in my IE :/ Also, this is the code I'm using to embed mp3, wma and wmv files. I'm streaming them off a Windows Media Server. WMV and WMA files play on all browsers tested with this code (IE, Firefox, Chrome). Well, almost. They play on my pc's IE and not on another's, anyone have any idea why, please? Can anyone tell me definitively (I've spent way too much time on this, arrrgh) whether this is the right code to be using or if there is a better way (right way)?

Re: CFFILE upload eating up requests / apache configuration
Not an answer to your question, but we're expecting large file uploads from many users and we've made the upload page like this: 1. Call to CF web service to check credentials. 2. In page CF to check the result of the webservice call 3. Process upload with cffile 4. Pass file data to CF web service to process the file 5. Return some info to the use with some custom CF code If things don't work out with CF accepting the file we intend to replace points 2, 3 and 5 with PHP or something else. We point out clients to upload to a URL like www.domain.com/upload/. Then we will replace index.cfm with index.php or index.aspx or index.cgi or whatever if needed. Any thoughts or comments on that setup? Thanks. Adrian Hi there - I've a problem with file uploads: - Users are uploading a lot of files using uploading files - Some users have a quite slow internet connection so uploading takes quite a white - I can see in FusionReactor that every upload eats one ColdFusion process waiting for the upload to be finished and thereafter continues with processing the data - We frequently run out of processes (set in CFAdmin) because e.g. 10 users are uploading files at a low rate. I don't want to set the request limit up to e.g. 50 because the handling of such amounts of real requests would knock down the server. Questions: - Is there a possibility to modify the apache config that the coldFusion process is created AFTER all POST data is available? - Any workarounds (I already thought about moving to php for file uploads ...)

Sometime people could even upload about a gig of files if they so liked and wanted to wait that long, I expect. Anyway, when I last used cffile for upload for large files (using CF 4.5, if you please), there were all sorts of crappy issues you had to deal with. Are there still issues with using cffile for large files? I recently tested out the app with about 175MB of files with the largest file being about 76 MB abd the CF server crapped out on me. Looked up the application log and there wasn't one line of log in there that said anything significant happened. Am I better off using the FileReader class in Java? Or any other option? I would absolutely look into alternative solutions to cffile in this case. Remember, the cffile tag reads the *entire* file into memory (if it can) and only then does the action request. I'll bet money that your crap out was an OutOfMemory error at the Java level -- you were just looking at the wrong log file, which is why you didn't see it. If you're serious about allowing uploads of the sizes you're talking about, then streaming the file will be much more efficient. There are some UDFs at cflib.org to help you out with this. Also, if you're using MX 7, there is a new memory throttle on the Settings page called Maximum size of post data to help prevent against DoS attacks. Make sure that you up the default 10MB setting to the size of the largest file you anticipate to accept, or you'll hit that road block as well.

Re: cffile upload large files again!
Thanks Dave, I don't see any UDFs on cflib that deal with what you talk about, though? I searched using various terms, but nothing turned up. I do understand what you say about streaming the file while uploading. Can this be done using the java.io.InputStream class?

RE: CFFILE upload to Linux server issues
You may need to set the mode attribute of cffile to 777. You may also want to check and make sure that the directory you're trying to upload to has the appropriate permissions on it. 777 allows uploads and such but may open you up too much.

Also, somebody else noted dots in the path. This isn't an issue either. Tests need to be run to make that the user that CF runs as is able to right to *each directory* that leads to the ultimate destination. In *nix systems, if you have permissions to write to a sub-directory, but not to a parent directory, you'll be denied.

The form variable containing your uploaded file isn't a string; you can't just check its length and output it.

RE: CFFile upload problem
You can handle file uploads using the form field directly without using cffile if that meets your needs.The form field value will be a path to the temp file where it's stored. This is useful for example if you want to read in the file and process it but don't need to make a copy. It's not documented behavior so it could change in the future...

RE: CFFILE UPLOAD ???
You can specify a full path, includeing filename in the CFFILE ACTION="" tag, or you can upload it, and then do a CFFILE ACTION="" to rename it to whatever you want.The advantage of the second method is that you will have access to the CFFILE scope that the upload generates, containing all the info about the file.

Re: cffile upload question
I addedenctype=multipart/form-data on the parent form window, I now get a different error. The form field C:\Documents and Settings\assets.txt did not contain a file Hello Everybody, I am working on a application to upload attachments/files to the server using cffile. The interface is designed to allow the user to select one or more files to attach through a pop-up window. I am passing the list of files along with the complete file path the user has selected back to the parent window. To explain this further, the pop-up window has a form with the input type 'file' formfield and hidden variable that stores a comma separted list of all the file paths the user wishes to upload. On the parent window, I'm looping through this list and trying to upload the files one by one. I get an error. Here is the code: cfset MimeTypes = text/html,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint,application/vnd.ms-project, application/pdf,application/msword,application/vnd.ms-excel, application/x-zip-compressed,image/jpeg,image/gif,application/x-visio, application/drafting,model/vnd.dwf,image/x-dwg,application/dxf, application/x-excel,application/rtf,text/plain cfloop list=lFilesToUpload index=fUpload cffile action=""> filefield=#fUpload# destination=#request.BlobDir# nameconflict=MAKEUNIQUE accept=#MimeTypes# /cfloop This is the error I get. Invalid content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. I don't have that mime type in my code I think the error is caused because the filefield cffile attribute expects a form input variable? Can I not pass this attribute any variable name or in this case list item name? Can someone please show me how to get round this problem Best Regards, cfcoder __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: cffile upload question
I'll try and explain this better. I have a form on the main page. The form has a button that opens up a pop-up window. The pop-up window has the input type 'file' field. I have added code to allow users add more than one file at a time. I am not uploading the file to the server at this stage. Instead I am passing the list of files selected along with the complete file path back to the parent window. The parent window has a submit button. When the user hits on submit. I am looping through the list containing the file paths and want to upload them one by one to the server using the cffile tag. Here is the code cfif isDefined(form.submit) cfparam name=finalFilePathList default= cfloop list=#form.hid_attachedFilesPath# index=lFilePath cfset lFilesToUpload = ListAppend(lFilesToUpload,lFilePath) /cfif cfloop list=#lFilesToUpload# index=fUpload cffile action="" filefield=#fUpload# destination=#request.BlobDir# nameconflict=MAKEUNIQUE accept=#MimeTypes# /cfloop Hope this gives you a better idea.

Re: cffile upload question
You can't just pass the full file path in a hidden field then upload the file. I think this is something to do with security... :) If you want to upload multiple files then you'll either need mutliple file fields, or you'll need to upload them sequentially.

RE: cffile upload question
You don't actually have the files in a file upload formfield if you're just passing the string with the file location to the parent window. You'll need to actually upload the file when you submit the pop-up window. At least upload it somewhere to a temp directory. Then if you want to move them enmasse to another location when you submit the main form you can use cffile or cfftp. Make sense? The 'file' only exists in the form with the file upload formfield. When you submit that form you have the file available to the server (CF). If you don't take advantage of it on that transaction, you lose it.

Re: CFFILE Upload
I believe CF only knows cgi.content_length, which it gets from the web server after the web server/browser handle the upload (cffile just moves it from the o/s' temp folder to the desired destination and names it).CF alone can't go any further than that so far as I know. -- --- Matt Robertson,[EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com --- -- [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: CFFILE upload max. file size?
There is a bug in IIS that limits the file upload size. Its tricky to put a number on it, but anything over 4 megs on a 100mbit line will likely send your server running never to return. It has nothing to do with memory allocation, it's a fricken bug in IIS. Microsoft acknowledges it to their ASP developers and directs them to use a com object for the transfer in lou of a form post. This works of course for CF as well, but it means you can not use CFFILE for user uploads on top of IIS. Well, unless you like having your server crash.

RE: CFFILE Upload question
Hi, What I did is do both client and server side validations. The client side check is put all the accepted file extension in a list then use a JavaScript to validate the file field at the submission. If the user uploaded an unaccepted file display alert message do not submit the form. The server side validation I did more than just use the attributes in the CFFile tag. After the uploading I actually check the extension of the server file again because some MIME type let go not only one type of the file. If the uploaded file is unacceptable I will deleted it straight away. Also using cftry and cfcatch is not enough, if the use upload an empty file the cfcatch will not catch it, but the CFFILE.ServerFile is not created, when you try to reference it you will get an error.

Re: CFFILE Upload question
!--- if there is any problem during upload wrong file type, no file, paths,
permissions... whatever, the user sees the error message #errmsg# ---
cftry
CFFILE ACTION=UPLOAD FILEFIELD=Form.Upload1
DESTINATION=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\imghost\#SecureCheck.txtUserName#
NAMECONFLICT=MAKEUNIQUE ACCEPT=text/html
cfcatch type=any
cfset errmsg = Problemos problemos problemos
/cfcatch
/cftry
cfif isdefined('errmsg')
cfoutput#errmsg#/cfoutput
/cfif
or you could redirect to the form with something like cflocation
url=form.cfm?errmsg=#errmsg# addtoken=no right after the cfset
errmsg...

I would be inclined to add a JavaScript check also. Saves the user having
to
upload the file. Note that you can't clear the field with JS, but you can
clear the whole form (reset()) which is useful if the upload is the only
field on the form.

Subject: CFFILE Upload question
If I specify MIME types in the ACCEPT attribute such as:
CFFILE ACTION=UPLOAD FILEFIELD=Form.Upload1
DESTINATION=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\imghost\#SecureCheck.txtUserName#
NAMECONFLICT=MAKEUNIQUE ACCEPT=text/html
What happens if someone tries to upload a file that isn't on the
accept
list (like a jpg)? Does a CF error page display? I'm new to working
with
CFFILE and I'm not even sure if I'm asking the right question. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: cffile upload with macs and pc's
For similar needs I use a generic snippet: !--- Left and Right trim form values --- cfloop collection=#form# item=i cfset tmt_format_form=StructUpdate(form,i,Trim(form[i])) /cfloop Massimo Larry C. Lyons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message Try encapsulating all your form variables with a trim, as in TRIM(form.formName) - when processing the forms. From what I understand IE for the mac tends to add spaces to the form values. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: CFFILE upload and accept attribute
Thanks, I am going to try it, still it doesn't explain why the examples below fails: accept=image/jpg accept=text/html accept=application/msword The docs also reports: ACCEPT Optional. Use to limit what types of files will be accepted. Enter one or more MIME types, each separated by comma, of the file types you want to accept. For example, to allow uploads of GIF and Microsoft Word files, enter: ACCEPT=image/gif, application/msword It's a know issue? I searched Allaire's website without any luck... Again, thanks Massimo Bryan LaPlante [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:001b01c0e562$5ff0$[EMAIL PROTECTED]... at run time file upload will only take one file extension at a time. The work around is to define your file types in a list and then only use cffile if the extension is appropriate. extensionlist=img,jpg,txt cfif listcontains(extensionlist, server.fileExtension) cffile /cfif Bryan ..com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: CFFILE UPLOAD
I had the same problem before... couldn't figure it out. Ran into the same problem with some complex queries. After exhausting all of my known possibilities... I reinstalled CF Server and everything worked fine. Haven't had any problems since. Chad -Original Message- From: Sim Graves [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 11:02 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFFILE UPLOAD We're running CF4.5 NTserver 4.0 SP6 (don't say it, I know SP6=Bad). When we use CFFILE to upload a file, the file increases the size of coldfusion.exe and never decreases, even after the file is written to the disk. After a few uploads all of our 500megs of RAM is gone. At the Allaire forum all I could find was a suggestion to drop CFFILE and use PERL. This can't be the only solution (I hope). Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
