OK, from experience; Remember that the "directory" of the file has to be as the FTP client sees it
Now, come put "/folder/file", others use "drive:/folder/file" and other still use "/drive:/folder/file" - you have to get the right one of the server Connect to it via a FTP client and see how it sees the directory and then try that... We had to change ours depending on the server it was talking to (our code tried all examples) HTH Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
