Deanna, Thanks for the reply. Actually, unfortunately that's not an option (that is, however, how I manage a photo album site elsewhere). My client is a government agency and their rules dictate that the files not be stored on the web server (it is *strictly* an application server) unless they are temporary (such as when pdfs are created on the fly - then the temp files are removed).
So my options are to: a. figure out how to upload into a blob field; or b. figure out how to tunnel the files (using CF?) through a proxy port to place them on another server which can be used for storing data/images Still would welcome any suggestions! We are looking at a C compiled program to do the blob placement as a last resort. We'd prefer to keep it all in CF, though.
