Hi Andrew, That's make sense, thanks.
The reason I wanted to be able to do this is to be able to automate the transfer of some objects from the server to my local development environment. Basically on my site clients can build forms. The form, on the backend is a series of database records with JSON encoded objects and some related file resources. I wanted to be able to automate the transfer of a form that a user was getting errors on in the form designer to my local database and filesystem in order to do debugging on It and re-create the problem. I can't just copy the DB rows because of the file structure and files that are integrated with the form object...

But if you were to physically go to the machine / server you would not be able to see your machine this way. Now this is where I could be wrong, because my understanding is that if this was allowed that means any other session, or the server could potentially open up more security implications. And as ColdFusion is running well before your RDC session starts, then there will be no way ColdFusion or any other system outside of your RDC session can access your drives. So the next question, is why would you want ColdFusion to be able to access your drive over an RDC session? -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 2:59 AM, Brook Davies <cft...@logiforms.com> wrote: > > Hi Andrew, > > Essentially, yes.
