CFFile Upload to Remote Server

[kodemonki]

I know this is a routing question, but I can't figure out what's going on.

Since I can't get links from a remote server to work (see: ) I've decided to just upload files to both production servers.

I am using the code: <cffile action="upload" filefield="new_file" destination="\\earth.domain_name.com\Inetpub\wwwroot\portal\prod\manu\ford\eg\pdc\training">

I have also used the following variations:

<cffile action="upload" filefield="new_file"  destination="\\earth\Inetpub\wwwroot\portal\prod\manu\ford\eg\pdc\training">

<cffile action="upload" filefield="new_file"  destination="\\ipaddress\Inetpub\wwwroot\portal\prod\manu\ford\eg\pdc\training">

<cffile action="upload" filefield="new_file"  destination="\\earth\portal\prod\manu\ford\eg\pdc\training">

<cffile action="upload" filefield="new_file"  destination="\\earth.domain-name.com\portal\prod\manu\ford\eg\pdc\training">

<cffile action="upload" filefield="new_file"  destination="\\ipaddress\portal\prod\manu\ford\eg\pdc\training">

<cffile action="upload" filefield="new_file"  destination="\\earth\Inetpub\wwwroot\portal\prod\manu\ford\eg\pdc\training">

When I use a / at the end I get an attribute validation error, when I don't use one I get the message "The destination either does not exist or is not accessible by this tag."  I copied the inital path directly from the file explorer window that I used on the development server to browse to the foler I wanted.  Even when I replace Earth with the UNC for the development server (same file path) that I can easily write to using a absolute file path, I get that error.  I know these paths are correct and the files exist.

Also, CF is using the Administrator account which has full access to the training folder on the production and development servers.

Does anyone know why I cannot write to or see these folders when uploading files like this?

Thank you.

filefield should be filefield="FORM.[name of form field]"

destination should be the full physical path (drive) of destination (ie, "D:\earth\Inetpub\wwwroot\portal\prod\manu\ford\eg\pdc\training")

I shouldn't have to map the remote servers, but I'll give it a try.

Och.. forgot about the remote part..

In that case, you use CFFILE to upload to a local server, then CFFTP to move it to the remote server.

Thank you for that suggestion!  It horrifyed my sysadmin so much he took an *actual* hard, second look at the server settings and saw that deep down somewhere in the advanced IIS settings something wasn't right or didn't match, so now I can do the original thing I wanted to do (upload to and pull from a remote server).  For some reason I now get a DLL error when I try to do this with the development server, but I guess I'll just make do.

Thank you so much
