Here's my setup
- Cold Fusion Server running as a user with full access
rights to the directory.
- CFFILE tag has NO problem managing files in this location
"\\servername\foldername\"
What I need to do is create an http link that web users can
click and download the file.
Solution 1: (not working)
Created a mapped folder location to the network share. (This
doesn't work)
Ex: /PurchaseFiles/
Actual location: \\Servername\Foldername\
Solution 2: (Not working)
Create a mapped folder location to a mapped drive. This
requires that the mapped drive be created under the same user that
the Cold Fusion Administrator is using.
- Cold Fusion Admin still does not see the mapped drive even
after a restart.
Solution 3:
While not what I want to do. Install a piece of software that
allows me to make symlinks in windows forcing cold fusion to stop
being a butt headed mongrel.
If you have any ideas or reasons my first 2 solutions aren't
working that would be GREAT!

Ah, I had to read a bit more to learn the difference in roles
between the Cold Fusion Administrator and IIS. I didn't realize
that the calls were passed to IIS when linking like this.
