That was my feeling as well. I have always tried to stay away from much file manipulation with the CF engine since, as you say, it wasn't designed for it. >> The alternative I'd recommend would be the use of temporary symlinks. This was another thought as well but the issue there is moving those files back and forth programmatically with CF. I thought that it would use as much processor/threads as actually serving it up. I see PHP sites do it but I am not sure if they have other ways to handle the actual transfer of the file via the web server with a re-direct utility or something. After I sent the email I remembered that the CoolFusion guys had an authenticator ISAPI filter for IIS which essentially runs a CF script before allowing access to the file through the web server. I just don't know if it will work on 64bit IIS7 and am waiting for their reply via email. I am looking for any and all ideas and opinions on this subject since I have yet to find a full solution.
