For the existence of a file use the Fileexists(file) function. And too the path of the file with expandpath(file).<br />
<br />
i.e: &lt;cfset file = &quot;/images/&quot; &amp;&nbsp;#prod.nr# &amp;&nbsp;&quot;.gif&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;cfif Fileexists(expandpath(file<wbr />))&gt;<br />
.....<br />
&lt;/cfif&gt;<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; I would like to know &nbsp;how i can check the existence of a file in a local machine.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; my case, i have an input box (file)<br />
which let user upload a file, but i am afraid user will just any how type a filename and then upload it. This will cause an error page. So I would like to check the existence of the file before I do the uploading.<br />

Check File Exist

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
