<cffile> - to manipulate files.

<cfdirectory> - to change the directories.

<cfzip> - to change the zip files to the system.

<cfregistry> - to change in the registry settings.

There are many <cffile> tag attributes which are used to set attributes to perform a dynamic action to the query, form fields contained in files. To stop the malicious actions in file system it is very necessary to use the file system tags very carefully. There are following tags in the <cffile> tag -
