If the directory structure does exist then you shouldn't have any problems as long as the cffile tag is enabled and the coldfusion user account has permission to read/write to the directory and file.

You'll have to check with your hosting company to see if they have the cffile tag allowed on thier system. Also checking the full directory path including the drive... they may have a different drive specified for uploads. You can get the correct path from you hosting company, once you can confirm with them, what the correct path should be, then you should be good to go. Sometimes for security the hosting companies will not allow certain tags, so first thing is to check that, then to make sure with them, that your path is correct...

This happens to me many times, quadruple check to see if that directory exists!

Oh, and since you're uploading, you're not supposed to have a file at the end of the destination. It should strictly be "D:\Inetpub\vhosts\httpdocs\exquisite-jewellery\secure\images\departments\". If you are on a Unix machine, destinations are case sensitive, therefore check to see if the directories are the same casing.

For example, this would be correct: D:\Inetpub

This would not: D:\INETPUB

Be sure you are using the same case sensitive for every letter in each directory.

Also, besides what was mentioned - make sure that the host has granted you WRITE permissions to the place you are trying to write to.  If your code works locally then it is most likely a permission problem or security problem with the host (such as them not allowing the tag as trailblazzyr mentioned)

(NOTE - depending on the OS of the host you CAN have the file name at the end of the destination for an upload if you are specifying the name of the destination file.)

i have just used without cfinput to just input and it seemed to work with this cause problems do you think?
