Mark (and everyone else), Thanks for the help but I figured it out. My problem with my CFFTP was because of a networking problem. I was connecting to the wrong IP address... duh! Anyway after all that work trying to figure it out, I found out that what I really needed to use was a simple CFFILE tag. Yes I know this allows anyone to upload to the server, but access to this feature of the application is behind user authentication. Anyway, I really appreciate all the help and suggestions. Thanks again.
