I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting, but cffile must be used to upload files submitted from the client in a form post as far as I know.
cfhttp is for sending http request from your coldfusion server to another machine. I don't really see how you could accomplish a file upload from a client via that. You could consider giving your users FTP accounts. The FTP protocol is a bit better suited for large files and won't consume an app server thread. However, it wouldn't be part of a web interface. The only other option I have seen for easily uploading large files from the web are custom applets or active x controls etc. Truthfully, you aren't going to get any better network transfer right from them-- just more control. ~Brad ----- Original Message ----- From: "Les Mizzell" <[email protected]> To: "cf-talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 9:35 AM Subject: cffile - cfftp questions.. > > Working on an admin section for a client to upload podcasts and video to > his site.
