I'm having a real headache with trying to implement a function which will take a file from form and then upload it (or really copy it to a destination dir) using cffile.

Here is my code:

<cffunction name="Upload" access="remote" output="false" returntype="any">

    <cfargument name="file" required="true">

    <cffile action="upload" fileField="arguments.file" destination="#ExpandPath('.')#" nameConflict="makeunique">

    <cfreturn cffile>
</cffunction>

<cfif NOT isDefined("form.submitted")>

     <form action="index.cfm" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
       
        <input type="hidden" name="submitted" id="submitted" />
        <input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
       
     </form>
    
    <cfelse>
   
        <cfif isDefined("form.file")>
           
            <cfdump var="#form#">
           
            <cfscript>
                response = Upload(Form.file);
            </cfscript>

            <cfdump var="#response#">
           
            <cfoutput>Success</cfoutput>
           
        <cfelse>
       
            <cfoutput>No file</cfoutput>
           
        </cfif>
   
</cfif>

The error message I'm getting is:

The form field arguments.file did not contain a file.

What I don't understand is, why does it work when I pass the form.file to the fileField of cffile upload and not when I simply pass it through a function? Is there some sort of hidden security here or something?

I've tried all sorts of variations with this without success. If someone could tell me where I am going wrong I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,
