upload to another windows server via CF

[blst]

basically, what i am trying to accomplish, is getting files to a server that is not public from a web server that is public via cffile.

i would be happy to upload the files to the public server and have them copy to the private server except that i have top make sure the names are unique as the filenames are written to an sql table once they are uploaded and renamed if necessary.

any ideas? i am sure there is an easy answer, i just can't think of one at the moment... thanks.

assuming you are on Windows:
i believe you can use UNC path to the private server you want to upload
files to in the "destination" attribute of <cffile>. you have to make
sure the local account CF is running under has proper permissions to the
destination direrctory. remember: CF by default is running under a LOCAL
account which is not necessarily same as account of user logged into the
cf box. so you have to grant proper permissions to the account CF is
running under, not the logged-in user's account.

well, so as to not allow cf to have too many permissions, i have decided to do all of the management on the public server.

thanks for the reply....

You could also use CFFTP if the circumstances permit between servers.
