This file is used by the RDS service - any properly-formed requests to that
file are handled by RDS instead of by CF. CF Studio requests that file when
you use it as an RDS client.
However, the location of that file is usually within the CFIDE directory:
inetpub/wwwroot/cfide/main/ide.cfm
I don't know whether you could use it from there, though, since Studio
requests the URL http://www.whatever.com/cfide/main/ide.cfm. However, if you
wanted to figure out what exactly Studio is doing, you could build your own
RDS client and specify a different file location, I'm sure.
Typically, for security purposes, you'd either disable RDS entirely by
stopping the RDS service (the preferable solution), or you'd lock down RDS
access by using the web server's authentication to protect access to the
ide.cfm file.
