Nope, that's not it....
After opening my connection I added the line you mentioned:
<cfftp action="changeDir" connection="movefiles"
directory="/array1/plasma">
and CF throws this error:
An error occurred during the FTP changeDir operation.
Error: 550 /array1/plasma: No such file or directory .
However, if I add a listdir for the same directory before the
changedir line, CF processes that, so the directory is definitely
there, now it's just kicking back on the actual changedir line, and
of course, never makes it to the getfile command:
<cfftp action="listdir" connection="movefiles"
name="dirquery" directory="/array1/Plasma">
<cfftp action="changeDir" connection="movefiles"
directory="/array1/plasma">
