CFFILE - Serious

[saurabh]

Please tell me why I am unable to upload images using CFFILE
The error comes in the first CFFILE tag of UPLOADBANNER.CFM

-----------------ERROR in UPLOADBANNER.CFM----------
The directory specified in the DESTINATION attribute of the CFFILE tag (i:\maxwell\banners\get_well.jpg) is not valid. The directory either does not exist or is not accessible by the ColdFusion service.

Did you read the error? It gives you the exact reason in plain english.

The directory specified in the DESTINATION attribute of the CFFILE tag (i:\maxwell\banners\get_well.jpg) is not valid. The directory either does not exist or is not accessible by the ColdFusion service.


I couldn't explain it any better myself.
Check the path and make sure your host has CFFILE enabled.

Another suggestion... you don't need Javascript to get the filename. All you need to do is reference File.ClientFile once the file has been uploaded in the code with the <Cffile> tag.
