I need to move a file from one server to another over a network using the UNC Path. Is this possible with cffile? Ftp is not available.
ColdFusion 7.1
Windows server 2003

Thanks
Fred

Yes, but the ColdFusion 'Service' in the Windows Services Panel needs to
be configured to run under a domain user with the required permissions
to the remote server. Rather then the default 'LocalSystem' user that
normally has *no* network rights.

Then <cffile file="\\remoteServer\directory\file.ext" ...> works just fine.

Thanks Ian
My network person wonders if you would know what the default local rights are for the ColdFusion Service. Presumably these will also have to be reset for the domain user account.
