The value of the attribute file, which is currently "c:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\myapps\upload-2-server\monthly-pages\file2.cfm", is invalid.

hmmm, very strange because if the file didn't exist you would not get past this line:

<cfif fileexists("C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\myapps\upload-2-server\#filenamedel#")>

My guess is that maybe the file is still locked and in use by the ftp put when the engine gets to the cffile. Can you try doing the upload and the delete in two different requests and see if it works then?

Also, just for fun, can you do any other CFFILE operations on the file after the PUT? Like rename or read?
