cffile not accepting image

[umuayo]

This is the value of the file coming from form.thumbnailpic
Image to load "mart.jpg"
<!--- Directory --->
<cfset postfile2 ="F:\site\sponsors\1\Images\ ">
The image is not being Uploaded to the Directory. See code below

<cftry>
<cftry>
<cffile action="UPLOAD"
filefield="thumbnailpic"
destination="#postfile2#"
accept="image/*"
nameconflict="Overwrite">
<!--- Catch error.--->
<cfcatch type="Any">
<cfset erroroccured = #erroroccured# &","& "Thumbnailpic not saved">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>"

Are any errors being thrown or does the image file just not appear?

If there are error messages, have you checked the <input type="file"...>
tag? Filters can be assigned in the tag as to what type of files can or
can not be uploaded there as well.

try adding the name of the image to the destination

[umuayo]

filefield="thumbnailpic"

In the filefield attribute the file "thumbnailpic" is there, and this has the image to be uploaded

Got it working
I forgot to set the form to enctype="multipart/form-data” … see below
<form name="b" action="xxx.cfm" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data”>
