Robert, I don't think you will be able to do this.... Unless perhaps you can use a unc path or mnt to some other server (although I fail to see how this would be more secure). What you need is to be able to FTP from the client directly to the FTP server. I guess you will need to look for a Java applet or active X to do that - or possibly a flash object? Of course doing it this way means that the permissions for the FTP will end up on the client (in order to make it's own indpendent connection) which is far less secure (at least for the FTP server) than storing and forwarding the file.

I need to be able to get a file from a client browser to a remote FTP server without storing the file on the CF server. It's a government project that won't allow cffile to upload a file from the client onto the webserver, but they gave me access to an ftp server (requiring authentication of course). So basically, I want to be able to use cfftp but that appears to only be able to transfer files that are already on the local server. Anyone have a solution that allows the user to get a simple browse interface, i.e. cffile, but can put the file on a remote FTP server? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
