cfcontent networked file

CFContent can be used to DOWNLOAD a file
to send a file u'll need to use CFFTP / CFFILE

I guess CFFTP is what ur looking for !

sorry, I meant download. not upload.

I would like to have the files for download on a seperate machine to the webhost.

<!--- This is the download file for coldfusion projects --->

<!--- pass the followitn 2 parameters & call this file as a TAG / Include / HREF
<CFSET sPath = "C:\Clients\ProjFolder\anandkp.cfm">
<CFSET sfile = "anandkp.cfm"> --->
 
<CFHEADER NAME="content-disposition" VALUE="attachment; filename=#sfile#">
<!--- file_to_be_download.cfm - Name of file to be downloaded. --->    

<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/octet-stream" FILE="#sPath#" DELETEFILE="FALSE" RESET="TRUE">  
<!--- get teh physical [c:\asdas\asda\asdas.cfm] path for the file to be downloaded. --->

here is how i solved the problem in the end:

1. share a directory on the file server.
2. create a user login on the network file server.
3. create identical login on the webserver.
4. services >> cold fusion server >> log on as >> change to the newly created login.
5. restart all servers.
5. use unc path name to access the files within the shared directory
<cfcontent file="\\{servername}\{sharename}\{filename}"

thanks for your input anand, i will now ask for refund of points and to put this question into the PAQs as I think it has some value.
