Use cfdirectory.

For example:

<cfdirectory action="list" directory="C:/" name="DirectoryQuery" />

<cfdump var=#DirectoryQuery# />

That will dump a list of the directories and files in the server's C drive, and acts like a standard database query.


To get multiple directories into the same query variable, you can get two lists and a "Query of Queries" to merge them:

<cfdirectory action="list" directory="C:/" name="FirstDirQuery" />
<cfdirectory action="list" directory="D:/" name="SecondDirQuery" />

<cfquery name="DirectoryQuery" dbtype="Query">
    SELECT * FROM FirstDirQuery
    UNION
    SELECT * FROM SecondDirQuery
</cfquery>

<cfdump var=#DirectoryQuery# />
