I've used FTP from CF in the past to upload files to a
server, i am now trying to post files to a remote host using SCP
protocols, is this somthing that can be done from ColdFusion?
Looks like you can get java classes that will do the scp
transfer for you. Create the object using cfobject/java and then
call the appropriate methods. You can find a commercial product
here that does it.
