I don't think you can use cfcontent on a link. If you do not wish to use up the bandwidth on your main server, you will have to redirect to the browser to some kind of url on the media server.
If you only do not want the casual user to see the url's, then cflocation should be enough for you. Something like this <cfparam name="url.mediaUID" type="string" required="true"> <cfquery name="getMedia" dsn="mydsn"> Select filename from media where mediauUID=<cfqueryparam type="cf_sql_varchar" value="#url.mediaUID#"> </cfquery> <cflocation url="http://www.mymediaserver.com/somefolder/#getMedia.filename#";> Russ > -----Original Message----- > From: Emily Cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 2:15 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Getting media files from seperate server > > Thanks for this Russ - it sounds less complicated than I thought the way > you put it.
