See the History section of the main cffile tag page.
Usage
The rename action renames or move a file. The destination attribute must be a pathname, not just a new name for the file. If the destination is a directory, the file is moved and not renamed.
Example

The following example renames the file keymemo.doc to oldmemo.doc:

    <cffile action = "rename"
       source = "c:\files\memo\keymemo.doc"
       destination = "c:\files\memo\oldmemo.doc">
