History
New in ColdFusion MX: a directory path that you specify in the destination attribute does not require a trailing slash. New in ColdFusion MX: on Windows platforms, the temporary, archive, and system options of the attributes attribute are deprecated. Do not use them in new applications. They might not work, and might cause an error, in later releases.
