Re: File Upload/Management
There is a cffilemanager, also if you look on the Ckeditor site they also do a file manager, don't recall if there is a xf version. Tinymce also do one I believe.

Just in case anyone might find this of interest I finally found a way,
thanks to Maureen in another thread, to attach a UUID or unique file ID to
the multipart upload form fields in the Plupload jQuery uploader queue
widget implementation. Thanks to an article I found by Ben Nadel
(http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2506-storing-per-file-multipart-params-in-the-
plupload-queue.htm)
I was able to hook into the widget events and inject new multi-part
parameters for each file in the queue and then write them on the server
using the UUID as a file name, check to see if another file of the same name
exists and re-name the new file with an incremented file name.
Here is the JS for the PLupload queue widget: (note the uuid(); function
script is in my other post)
// Retrieving a reference to plupload.Uploader object
var uploader = $('#uploader').pluploadQueue();
uploader.bind('BeforeUpload', function(up) {
up.settings.multipart_params.fileuuid = uuid();
});
And on the server side:
This will NOT work with the Jquery UI widget implementation since they don't
seem to (easily) expose the events needed like 'BeforeUpload'.
I hope this helps someone.

Re: File Upload > uploading open file
Hi Don, The mime type of the file is determined by the browser (client side), and then sent in the HTTP request to upload the file. ColdFusion uses the same mime type sent by the browser in cffile. So it sounds like the accept attribute of cffile is causing this exception to be thrown. Try adding this mime type to the cffile accept attribute list, and then make sure you are validating the file extension of the uploaded file to be doc or docx. -- Pete Freitag - Adobe Community Professional http://foundeo.com/ - ColdFusion Consulting & Products http://petefreitag.com/ - My Blog http://hackmycf.com - Is your ColdFusion Server Secure?

Re: file upload - preventing double or more full stops in file name
Thanks guys. IAN this caught my attention: "The client reads the file from the user's file system and encrypts it into the header of the request" I've been using fiddler to view the headers and see the data I want : 200 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="b_file"; filename="C:\Documents and Settings\dsdfsd\Desktop\clean up\test.docupload.doc" However I don't know how to access this via coldfusion. I've tried gethttprequestData but unfortunatley I think by that point my window of opportunity had past. somehow need to get at the request at an earlier stage. > On 3/7/2011 11:40 AM, Don wrote: > >>> Why do you need to do this before you process it with CFFILE? > > Because once its uploaded the server hacks off the last (.) > > > > For example: > > > > original file: somefile.mack.txt > > > > renamed file on server: somefile.mack > > Well, as Dave indicated, ColdFusion is not actually involved in the > file > upload.

No matter that the parameter of the tag is called. The flow is: User picks file with client (i.e. browser) file form control. The user submits the request. The client reads the file from the user's file system and encrypts it into the header of the request. It then sends the request to the web server (i.e. IIS, Apache, etc). The web server decrypts the file from the header to a temporary location. (C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion25\SERVER-INF\temp\cfusion.war-tmp\neotmp4910092545170934955.tmp) for example. The web server then tells ColdFusion about the uploaded file and where it was. If you want to do anything with the file data before the last step, you will either have to have code running on the Client system OR you might be able to get some of the data from the raw request headers. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342817 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: File Upload Security
As I stated earlier in reply to Ray, I too prefer this.customTagPaths. My suggestion was actually based upon my not-so-hot memory from a previous read through of the server requirements. I was thinking that support was focused on CF 6.1+, but I see that it is actually based on CF8+, with the following footnote: "* ColdFusion 6.1 and 7 supported (on servers without a "/" mapping) with documented modifications to code usage." That is apparently where I got my wires crossed. Anyways, yeah, this.customTagPaths == more better.

Re: File Upload - Changing MIME Types
> As I understand it, the files are not actually "sent" in any MIME type, per > se, but the receiving browser interprets MIME type based on its coding, > which, as you found out, is determined by both OS and browser settings. No, I don't think this is correct. When downloading a file from a web server, the web server does generally specify the MIME type. The browser may ignore that and treat the file as if it were a different MIME type, but the server does specify a MIME type for static files automatically. When uploading a file to a web server (which is the basis for the original question) the browser builds a multipart MIME request, which specifies the MIME type for each uploaded file.

Re: File Upload - Changing MIME Types
>From what I understand, the browser can send whatever mime type it wants. And yes, there are security concerns here. In my experience, dealing with mime types is a pain in the because browsers don't always seem to follow a standard when processing files. I think I found a java library that did a good job at identifying files (after the upload). I know that you can't trust the mime type that is sent from the browser, because it varies depending on the user agent, as you found.

MIME types aren't set in stone, and browsers can send whatever they want. Because of this, filtering by MIME type is not an adequate security measure by itself - I could upload any sort of file and say it's, say, "application/pdf" (which frankly is a fairly insecure file type anyway, but let's not go into that). > 2) Is it truly the security risk that it seems to be if I were to allow > "application/octet-stream", which as I understand is essentially a binary > format? (The upload form and processor is behind a login, and the directory > is outside of the web root, so that much is "safe".) No, it's not. The security risk is to allow uploads of untrusted files of any type to any web-accessible directory, or even any directory that allows execution of files (although the latter is a much smaller risk generally). The MIME type "application/octet-stream" isn't the only binary format, either - it's just the one that gets applied when you have a binary file for which you don't know a better MIME type. Since executable binaries don't have a MIME type of their own, that's what gets applied.

RE: File Upload - Changing MIME Types
Matt, I suspect it is down to what software you have installed. If you have Excel installed, then a .csv will be linked to excel by default which is "application/vnd.ms-excel". If you have no applications installed that recognize a csv file then it will probably be " text/csv". In order for there to be any security risk with uploaded files a hacker would need a way to execute them after uploading, so would need to leverage some other security hole in your application or server. As long as there no way to do this then you should be safe to allow "application/octet-stream". You could additionally check the file extension after upload as well.

re: File Upload - Changing MIME Types
As I understand it, the files are not actually "sent" in any MIME type, per se, but the receiving browser interprets MIME type based on its coding, which, as you found out, is determined by both OS and browser settings. As far as I know, there's no way around it, especially since the browser only guesses the MIME type based on the file extension, meaning that an image file that gets renamed to myImage.gif.txt, for example, will be read as text/plain even though it's really a GIF. Off the top of my head, I would say that to validate whether it's a CSV, upload to a web-safe directory, then verify that the file extension is either txt or csv, then try to parse it. If either of the validations fail, then it's probably not a CSV, otherwise go ahead and import it. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337596 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

We had a case a while ago where a client using a similar cffile upload script/HTML form suddenly couldn't upload files through their admin page. The problem was that their anti-virus/internet security program on the client PC was blocking the upload and would not send the data in the form. I couldn't replicate it until I went to their location and saw the issue in person. Temporarily disabling the firewall allowed the upload. They eventually called Symantec tech support and was given instructions on how to allow the post to go through. I see this type of thing a lot on another website that uses FTP for download. The Internet Security programs close off port 21 by default and most all but the basic HTTP, SMTP & POP3 ports.

The problem here is that more than just some patches has changed except the code and, from my understanding, the version of CF being used. As I mentioned in my original email, about half a year back, the hosting company switched the site to a new server which has Win2k3 (instead of Win2k). They say that CF5 is being used on both servers but, with the switch, there could be changes in the CF server settings. I don't know if the directory structure their using for hosted sites is the same from the old server to the new. There are so many things that could be different, none of which I have access to, that I was hoping someone could shed some light based on the error message being returned. > Have you checked to make sure your cgi.request_method is "post" like > you think it is?

Thats something else that updates itself automatically and is in this mix. Any chance you can fall back to an older browser somewhere?

RE: File upload and make unique
Robert,
At first glance, I thought this would work, but after looking
closely at the code, it does nothing more that what makeunique already
does, just adds a 1 to the end of the file name if not unique, thus each
time you use the routine, you end up with a file name that increases in
length by 1 char. I may be able to adapt what you sent, by grabbing the
number at the end of upl_fle_nme, taking a val, increment that, and
replace the number into the name and then checking for prior existence.
So you have still helped me go in the right direction.

Subject: RE: File upload and make unique
Assuming you are uploading from a form and the name of the file field is
"file", the routine below will do it. You will need to rename the paths
as
necessary. This routine will:
1) Rename the file with incremental numbers (1, 2, 3, etc)
2) Ensure the file name uses only standard characters (so it can be
used in
URL strings if you want to link to the file)
3) Report back the final uploaded file name as the variable "upl_file"
4) Prevent users from uploading dangerous file types (.cfm, .com, .exe,
etc.)
Hope this helps.
The
file you uploaded uses the
extension .#file_ext#.
This file type is not allowed.
The upload is aborted.
Please return and select an acceptable file type
or zip the file before uploading.

Re: file upload/virus scan
If you decide you need to scan uploaded files, you may wish to evaluate Metascan from OPSWAT (www.opswat.com). It is an API that enables integration with most AV packages in the market; supported development interfaces include C++, COM, JAVA; sample code in C# and ASP. Evaluation package is provided on request. An interesting test would be to upload a file (exe, rar, doc) renamed as a PDF or JPG to a site powered by Metascan, www.filterbit.com. Filterbit demos scanning by 6 AVs in parallel, plus file verification (i.e. it should catch that the file type has been altered).

Re: File Upload "
It's not that coldfusion can't handle bigger files (I used to work at a place that handled 10MB uploads daily without a hitch), it's that the code you wrote may not be able to handle it. It could also be the server processor may be below par for the job (more likely). What is the code that you are using to process the data? What are the stats of your server?

Re: File upload
>>I check the file name and see if it already exists in the database. If it does, then I return the error. If it doesn't exist, then go and perform the action. This is the way you see it, but not the best and easiest way to do it. This is the way I do it: - upload the file and rename it on the server with a unique local name, ie: CreateUUID() - store in the database both the local name and the original name. This way, you can have several files with the same original name. When a user retrieves a file, you can read it using the local name, and send it under the original name, users will never see the local name. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298318 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
RE: File upload
Use the attribute MakeUnique="Yes" (or is it "True" ?) to create a new filename if one exists with that filename already. That was my point. You can have the system generate a unique filename for CF and the database to reference, but maintain the original filename in the database, too, to show on-screen.

With this parameter set, CF will see that 'movie.wmv' already exists and change the name of the next file to 'movie1.wmv' or some other string that does not currently exist in the file system. It will then inform you of what the new file name is in the 'file.ServerFileName' structure key. It will also tell you if a rename was done in the 'file.FileWasRenamed' structure key. If that is your only requirement you are working hard to reinvent a wheel already well built into ColdFusion.

You don't need to retain the original filename within the file system, just within the database. Just rename the file to some pseudo-random string (that's what the NAMECONFLICT="MAKEUNQUE" attribute of CFFILE ACTION="UPLOAD" does), then store the original name and other metadata in the database.

Re: File upload
Why not use the makeunique option in the CFFILE tag? That way, if CF detects a file with the same name, it renames it automatically.

That is not the way this works, ASP, JSP, PHP, CF, pick your letters,
the file us uploaded to the server FIRST. Then the application server
technology can grab it and do its mojo.
Your ASP example says just that. It gets the file name from the HTTP
header. The reason the file name is in the HTTP header is because the
entire file content is in the HTTP header. If the user uploaded a 15mb
file, the browser has uploaded a 15mb file to the server and there is a
15mb+ HTTP header that ASP is inspecting.
You are talking about how the HTTP client-server | request-response
standard is built. All web application servers use the same HTTP
standard. This behavior is not going to change from one application
server to another.

Well, by the time CFFILE runs, the file has already been uploaded to the
server. CFFILE just takes the uploaded file out of a temp directory and puts
it where you tell it to.

This basically works the same way, if I understand correctly. The file
itself is embedded in the HTTP POST response made by the browser. By the
time your server receives that response in its entirety, your server has the
file.

RE: File upload
Hi Todd,
I won't run into a valid issue if the file is never uploaded to the server
in the first place. Basically the user submits the file, before the
action I check the file name and see if it already exists in the database.
If it does, then I return the error. If it doesn't exist, then go and
perform the action.
There's a way to do this in ASP.net by checking against the name of the file
field and the http header to grab the file name. I believe the control is
browser.httpheader {form.fieldname}
Kind regards,
Rick

Re: File upload
I don't know why Bruce needs it, but I would love to be able to do it because it adds usability. When there are multiple file upload boxes, its easy to get confused as to what files you have selected already. The file input box is usually only about 20 characters wide (and not adjustable in most browsers). So I end up seeing "C:\Documents and Sett" in all 10 boxes. I have used some uploaders where after you select the file, the file name appears next to the file select control.

RE: File upload
Hi Ian, I suspected as so. I don't know of any development platform that can grab the file name before going to the server. I have tried some javascript controls, but it doesn't work the same for all clients, and of course if someone has spyware or browser problems it'll crash their browser. I don't like to depend on the client for anything when it comes to web development. Thanks, Rick You can't with ColdFusion. The browser does not tell the server anything about the file before the upload occurs. It just bundles the entire file up and sends it with the request to the server generated when the user selects the 'submit' control. Then the web server takes the file from the request and writes it to a temp file location. It then passes the request to ColdFusion telling it where this temp location is. ColdFusion then does what you tell it to do with the file. To do anything before this must be done on the Client usually with JavaScript. But it is not so easy to access information about any user file selections with JavaScript for security reasons. The one technique I've seen is to mirror the path string from the file control to a hidden control. One then can do some JS validation with the hidden control value. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298151 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Hey Bruce, No worries, I may not have explained it all too well either. Thanks for the friendly name idea.

So if the file is something like 2008budget.xls, I would have them enter something like 2008 Budget. I enter the serverrfile name into the table along with the friendly name.
