OK, first of all you can't use CFDirectory or CFFile to get data from
another website - that's what CFHTTP is for
Anyway, you can use CFDirectory and CFFile to speak to another computas as
long as the login that CFServer is starting with an account which can speak
to that server and you use UNC encoding to speak to the other server, i.e.
\\Server2\WebShare\images\
If you want to speak to a real FTP server, then use CFFTP
