Coldfusion file download system






















Actually I am not getting any data, I am getting a xls file. I want to save that file and read it content. Please try it once you will understand what I am asking for. Are you attempting to open this file on the server, so that CF can manipulate it, or push the file to the client browser? Mark Porter Mark Porter 1, 9 9 silver badges 9 9 bronze badges. And cfhttp. Because after hitting the above url we get an excel file to save or open.

Even when I save the file from a browser it has 0 bytes. Hey thanks Leigh.. That was a bit wrong url. I am sorry for wasting all of yours time. Well, glad you found the problem.

I needed a unique value for my VFS storage area.

I get this by creating a hash from the current template path. I use code like this in BlogCFC when naming the application. The end result is a hashed string based on the file path. This hash will be unique across the server.

From that hash, I create a variable, rootpath, that points to the VFS. Lastly I create a mapping as well. The reason why will become apparent a bit later. First note that I create an application scoped copy of the rootpath value. This will let my application files easily use the same root directory. If the directory does not exist it shouldn't! By the way - wondering why I didn't make a script based CFC?

A reader commented on one of my other posts that the script based CFCs were a bit confusing. I won't always use them - I really do prefer script based CFCs, but I'd like to ensure folks can focus on learning one thing at a time. It's how I learn best as well.

After a few runs, I see this:. So that demonstrates simple file reading and writing, but what about an example using cfinclude? As you know, cfinclude can't use a real path. It has to use a relative path or mapping.

Remember when we created the mapping? Now we can make use of it:. In this example, my virtual file is named test. It contains CFML code to generate and output a random number from 1 to a I kept the textarea in so you can see the code saved to the VFS:.

If you provide file content in both the tag body and the output attribute, it results in an error. In the following example, the text provided in the body is written to myfile. Now assume that the file does not exist, then a new file myfile. If the file exists, it is overwritten.

To create an empty file, you have to provide at least a blank line in the tag body as shown in the following code:. Specify the extensions with a. That is, only. In this example, accept is set to.
