Technote Details :: File upload does not work properly on ColdFusion

Using ColdFusion MX 7.01, when I try to upload a file through a form created with MX File Upload, a folder with the same name as the file is created.

This happens because ColdFusion MX 6.1 and 7 allowed a file specification in the destination field for cffile action="upload". ColdFusion MX 7.01 creates a folder instead of uploading the specified file.

In order to correct this behaviour you have to download and apply the hot fix provided by Adobe. Then simply restart the ColdFusion server and the correct behaviour should be restored.

You can read a technical note regarding this issue here, and download the hot fix here.
