CFFTP - Server 2008

Hello,

I have a file that ftp's a file from an external server using cfftp. The same exact file running on a Windows Server 2000 machine works fine. On a Windows Server 2008 machine the file just hangs and the "downloaded" file stays at 0 Kb and open by ColdFusion so it can't be deleted without restarting CF.

This is using CF8 and both machines are on the same network through the same router. Does anyone know of special permisions or settings that need to be done for this to work on Server 2008?

Thank you.

It looks like the problem was that I was not using PASSIVE="YES". On the Win 2K server the same code worked fine but on the Win 2K8 server it required the file to be FTP'd with passive mode.

Windows 2008 is notorious for locking everything down.

The first place I would look is that the FTP ports are open and available.

Thank you for your help. However, we do have an FTP server running on the machine and the ports are open on the router. Also Windows Firewall is disabled. Any ideas as to where else Win 2008 Server would need to be opened for this?

Thannk you

Have you checked to see if the windows account that CF is running under on your windows 2008 machine has write access to that directory?
