You will need <input type="file"...> to upload the file to the CF Server, not cffile. Remember that cf tags run on the server, clients have no access to them.
-----Original Message----- From: Joel Watson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 08, 2007 8:26 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Question about cfftp I recently found out that I need to allow users to upload files from their browsers to another, non-coldfusionized server. I am assuming that cfftp is the solution for this. My question is this: is it possible to use cfftp to transfer files directly from the client browser to the ftp server, or does the file need to be uploaded to the CF server first, and then transfered via cfftp? The docs say the following: "Use cfftp to move files between a ColdFusion server and an FTP server." I assume this means that I will have to write any files to the coldfusion-based server first, but I just wanted to make sure this is the best way to go about this. What I am thinking is: 1. Use cffile to write the file to coldfusion-based server 2. Open ftp connection and transfer file 3. Close ftp connection 4. Use cffile to delete recently transferred file. Any thoughts?
