CFFILE upload and read!

Hi,

I need users to upload a file from the desktop and want them to store it in this folder "c:\CFprojects\Docs\". After that, if there is a document in this folder, I need that to be linked in the page.

Please help me out.

Thanks in advance.

<cfset varTmp = form.doc>

<cffile action="UPLOAD"
filefield="form.doc"
destination="c:\CFprojects\Docs\"
nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE"
accept="*.*">

Upload Results
<cfoutput>
<cfif fileexists("c:\CFprojects\Docs\#form.doc#")>
#form.doc#
</cfif>
</cfoutput>

or on a page other than the upload page

<cfdirectory action="list" directory="c:\CFprojects\Docs\" name="myDir">

<cfoutput query = "MyDir">
<a href="http://relativepathto/cfprojects/docs/#myDir.name#">#myDir.name#</a>
</cfouput>

      <td class = "tdhdr-v"> Upload </td>

                        <input type="submit" name="fileUpload" value="Go!" />

<cfdirectory action="list" directory="c:\CFprojects\DevAG\Temp\" name="Dirfil">

</cfoutput>

<cfoutput query = "Dirfil">
<tr>
<a href="http://mypath/cfprojects/DevAG/#Dirfil.name#">#Dirfil.name#</a>
</tr>
</cfoutput>

And also I am not able to upload ms-excel files.

try adding

<cfoutput query = "Dirfil">
<tr>
<a href="http://mypath/cfprojects/DevAG/#Dirfil.name#.DOC">#Dirfil.name#</a>
</tr>
</cfoutput>

If that works we'll be needing some extension handling...

Thank you very much for your help. What I did was, just I made it mypath under the webserver (inet). that's all. It works great.
