Create a file called GetImage.cfm It takes an ID as a parameter. Code would look something like this (pseudocode):
Get Image file info based on passed ID Set the filename the user sees using the CFHEADER Use the Physical path retrieved from the database with CFCONTENT to send the file to the user. Now, any call you make to a file/image, you call the GetImage.cfm with the appropriate ID. The user will only ever see the path to GetImage.cfm - never the path to the actual file.

Anyone have some code for this they would be willing to share about doing it?
