This cffile specification saves an image file only if it is in GIF or JPEG format:

<cffile action="Upload"

fileField="Form.FiletoUpload"

destination="c:\uploads\MyImage.GIF"

nameConflict="Overwrite"

This cffile specification saves any image file, regardless of the format:

<cffile action="Upload"

Note

ColdFusion saves any uploaded file if you omit the accept attribute, leave it empty,

or specify "*/*".
