The final user does not need access to that folder, just CF. Let's say I want to access a file C:\docs\test.doc, but the user doesn't have access to C:\docs. CF has access to it, and the user has access to a CF application in the webroot. Create a file download.cfm under the webroot somewhere and pot the following code in it:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=""test.doc"""> <cfcontent type="application/msword" file=" C:\docs\test.doc" deletefile="No"> This should enable the users to download the file by calling download.cfm. You have to make sure that coldfusion has access to the folder. Sandbox security may also prevent this, but then you have to talk to the server admin. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michel Deloux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 24 May 2005 13:01 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Viewing files in another server/directory outside CF server > > Thank you Pascal for your answer.
