CFFILE Addressing

[Abdlah]

Hello,
In an earlier post, it was pointed out to me that for the destination attribute of a CFFILE, I must use absolute addressing or the temp file of coldfusion. Now, if I do this what happens when I load my code onto a remote server? I am thinking I would loose the location of my file. Please advice, TIA

There are several functions for determining appropriate file paths for
just this purpose. Take a look at the documentation for the functions
expandPath(), getCurrentTemplatePath(), getBaseTemplatePath() and their
brethren.
