I am using CF 8 enterprise and for some reason i cannot seem to get the C

FFTP tag to work.  I've tried a variety of ways, but still no luck.

When i use a WSCP ftp program i have no problem FTPing.  However, if i use cold fusion i get error 51 or 81 or some variation of that.  At this point i feel ike i must be missing a major fundamental building block.  With that, i will start with the basics.

Windows 2003 Server Enterprise (FTP not set up in IIS)

Coldfusion 8 w/update 1

i am trying to FTP files on the same box to a unix box.  I tried enableing Coldfusion security, but no luck. it didn't do anything for me.  I am not going to bother putting the code for the tag here, but should this work? I mean, is there anythign i am missing like seting up an ftp server in iis eventhough i am having problem just opening connection? I have not even made it to the part of transfering files.

If someone could give me an out line of what i need to do to get this started in the right direction that would be a huge help.

    Have you tried using an FTP client from your CF server, to ensure connectivity between that server and your FTP server? You mention WSCP, but not whether you've run that from the CF server console.

    Thanks dave,

    And yes i kinda left that out.  I did try that from the wk3 box and can see the directory on the target machine.  In addition i can successfully transfer file to and from.

    Is it using active or passive FTP? Do you have CFFTP set accordingly?

    I don't think turning on CF security will help. In fact, it may hurt.
