cffile using web address

[KamHey]

Whatwould be the best way to copy a file from one website to another - i.e. coldfusion application to sharepoint?

Probably CFFTP.  As long as you have the login and pw to a valid authorized FTP account, it should work.

HTH,

Thanks - I considered this option - It would be nice if cffile would work with web address.

Too much involved - not a seamless integration. Thanks.

CFFILE is (as The Surf Punks once sang) "locals only".  It only works on the filesystem that it is on.  If you need to do something with a file on another system, CFFILE will not work because it's not the same filesystem.  That's where CFFTP comes in - you're doing something with/to a file on another system.

I wasn't aware that there even WAS a CFSHAREPOINT tag, so BKBK‌'s suggestion might be even better than mine.  (In fact, BKBK knows a lot more about CF than I do, so it's probably your best bet.)

HTH,

I decided to delete this post. It repeated things which WolfShade says in his last post. My post comes after his but, strangely, when I was writing it his post had not yet appeared online.

Thanks for the compliment, WolfShade.

One other option might be CFHTTP - if you use SharePoint's REST API.  I have no experience with SharePoint, so it's just a thought.

Many Sharepoint functions, like copying a file, are integrated in ColdFusion. Use the cfsharepoint tag.
