Well with CFCONTENT you could use it to send a file to a user, which would in turn popup a save as box for them to save a file to a certain location. Something like...
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes"> <cfcontent file="whatever.txt" type="application/ms-download"> But there is no way to manipulate that file on the clients machine once it's saved. The only file that you have access to (if they have them turned on) are cookies. _____________________________ steve oliver senior internet developer atnet solutions, inc. http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: Dylan Bromby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 12:19 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFFILE - on server only? How so? CFCONTENT is still restricted by the overreaching fact that CF is server-side. Just curious. -----Original Message----- From: Kay Smoljak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 9:02 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFFILE - on server only?
