cffile copy, move ... filename conflict?

Cpthk0, you're right to worry. I think the default behaviour of <cffile action="copy"> and <cffile action="move"> is to overwrite any file of the same name in the destination directory.

And, I think, that ain't OK.

Hi,,

try this lgic

check the file exits in that folder

               <!--- If already exists  file its renmaed --->
                 <cfif FileExists(fullPath)>
                     <cfset newfilePart = dateformat(now(),'dd_mmm_yyyy')& timeformat(now(),'hh_mm_ss_L')>      
                        <cfset FileName = listinsertat(FileName,(listlen(FileName,".")),newfilePart,".") >
                </cfif>

As far as I can tell, the engineers figured if you are doing <cffile action="move"....> or <cffile action="copy"...> you are working within your own file system and would create your own file management logic.  To that end they created functionality like fileExists() and <cfdirectory...> that can be used to read the state of a directory before and|or after move or copy operations.

Whereas with <cffile action="upload"....> you are working with files from outside users who may (and probably should) have little idea about your file system.
