I would like to rename the users file that they upload to my ftp. I want to add the CustId to the begging of the file name. For example it they select a file called test I want it to be named 223Test in my upload folder on my ftp site.

I uploaded a file called uptest and when my code ran I had two files in my upload folder. One was called uptest and the other was called acff97. So instead of renaming the file it just created a new one. I want to rename the file so that its the custId. Any suggestions?

<cf_fileupload
userid = "test"
password = "test"
filefield = "form.filename"
destination = "/test_com/www/upload"
NameConflict = "MakeUnique">


<cfx_filemanager action ="rename"
userid = "test"
password = "test"
filefield = "form.filename"
source = "/test_com/www/upload/form.filename"
destination = "/test_com/www/upload/#Session.CustId#"
>

the "MAKEUNIQUE" option of <CFFILE> I believe just generates a random name so that there is not a naming conflict. I think you would have to use some objext variables to add the prefix you want. I have not done this in cf but I know that similar actions can be performed in ASP.
