How can I grab a remote file and put it on a remote server?

Well I was finally able to get it to work using cfftp.  Here is what did it.  Thanks a lot guys!

<CFFTP CONNECTION=FTP
                        USERNAME="#mediaFTP_userID#"
                        PASSWORD="#mediaFTP_userPW#"
                        SERVER="#mediaFTP#"
                        ACTION="Open"
                        STOPONERROR="Yes"
                        PASSIVE="Yes">
                       
                        <CFFTP CONNECTION=FTP
                        action="getfile"
                        LOCALFILE="#datadrive#\#url.OID#\content\#newregid#.gif"
                        REMOTEFILE="/ownerdata/#url.OID#/content/#get.regid#.gif"
                        TRANSFERMODE="Binary"
                        PASSIVE="Yes">
                       
                        <CFFTP CONNECTION=FTP
                        action="putfile"
                        LOCALFILE="#datadrive#\#url.OID#\content\#newregid#.gif"
                        REMOTEFILE="/ownerdata/#url.OID#/content/#newregid#.gif"
                        TRANSFERMODE="Binary"
                        PASSIVE="Yes">

Are you just moving the file from one directory on the same server to the next? is http://somesite/ the same location? If that is the case, just use CFFILE action=move

If it is separate physical servers, and if you have access to the destination server, and it is hopefully running CF, you can use CFHTTP to copy the file such as:

<cfhttp url="http://somesite/dir1/img.gif" path="C:\pathtodir2folder\" file="img.gif" resolveurl="no">

</cfhttp>

If you dont have physical access to either your kinda out of luck.

You could read it with <cfhttp....> but you really should have permission to do so if you care to be a good netcitizen.

But to write it you would need to use <cffile....> and a UNC path OR <cfftp....> and use a ftp account.  Of course both of those would require you to have the appropiate permissions.

If this is just moving files around a server and the ColdFusion server and this "somesite" server are on the same network then <cffile...> and|or <cfdirectory...> would be the easiest, but you will need to run the ColdFusion service|deamon under a domain account that has the appropiate permissions to read and write files accross the network.
