1. Create a mapped network drive on the IMail machine accessible by the CF
machine. You can then write to that "drive" on the other machine.
2. Set up an FTP account on the IMail server in IIS, limit the access (within IIS) to the
IP address of your Cold Fusion server, and use CFFTP tags to get the file, do your stuff
and then CFFTP a revised file back to IMail. This is a good approach because it limits
FTP access by IP address AND lets you specify a user account (you will have to create)
with NTLM permissions over the folder.
Haven't tried either, but they may work....

One of my programmers is trying to write a Cold Fusion program to assist in maintaining email list addresses. This program will enable users to maintain the addresses for their own lists by displaying and permitting the modification of the users.lst file. The problem we're having is that CF doesn't have rights to the users.lst files on Server2 where IMail is installed. CF is installed on Server1. The CF service is running under the system account. Both servers are NT 4.0.
Is there a way that I can setup the NT servers so that the CF service on Server1 has read/write access to certain files on Server2 without changing the account under which the CF service operates??
If I have to change the CF service account, what pitfalls should I be aware of??
Thanks.
