You would still have to upload the file to the server using the cffile tag. He's having a problem getting the file to the server in the first place so I don't think cfftp is going to help.

The server would be handling the transfers so your users can be oblivious to where it's actually going. You could have the user pick files using an "<input type='file'>" tag to browse for file names, then pass those to cfftp to handle the upload. Note that CF8 also adds SFTP support to the cfftp tag. If you decide to try cfftp, do a little googling on it. There are a few little tricks that people have figured out that may make life much easier.

Gilmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: If FTP is the way to upload files, why is there a CFFILE tag for this? I'm reluctant to give my users FTP access to the web site. The uploads need to go to 6 different folders, depending on the nature of the file. With CFFILE, I can let them select the proper folder, limit access to only those selected folders, and control the type of file that can be uploaded. My users don't need to know or negotiate the file structure of the site. Is there a way this can be done with FTP? I suppose I could set up a bunch of separate limited FTP accounts, but the CFFILE approach seems to be optimum. Other than uploading large files, around 80 MB or larger, this has worked fine, and it still works fine with Mozilla. IE will upload files as large as 30 MB, but it seems to choke on an 80MB file. I have not done enough testing to determine where the actual choke point lies. 64 MB maybe? Forrest C.

CF8 uses a different method. It was possibly coincidence that you only noticed the problem using IE? Moving to 8 might solve the problem. Cheers, www.CTek-Media.com<http://www.CTek-Media.com> To deal with my upload issue, my ISP wants to switch my site from CF7 to CF8. I am inclined to do so. Are there any Gotcha's I need to be aware of? Forrest C.
