<cffile...> by itself is not going to do this for you. You will need to
combine it with <cfdirectory...> and some type of loop such as
<cfoutput> or <cfloop>.

Actually <cffile...> and <cfdirectory...> can work wit remote
directories. As long as both systems are on a well defined network and
the CF server is running as a user with the required permissions to
access the remote computer over the network.

If they are separate servers CFFILE likely will not work because it interacts with the local directories, not remote directories.

If you have the drives properly mapped, it may work, but you may want to try doing something with FTP.

JMO since I don;t know the exact setup of your service.


If both servers are CF servers and running CF8, you could zip up all the files, send the one file to the other location, then unzip the files on the new machine.
