I'm not certain of the specific errors.  I am only relaying a message from
my testing partners in the company.  The system is running on a public
domain through my IIS on my local machine.  Although it has not been
released to the public, it is available to the company partners for testing
from remote locations.  The actual tag reads: 

        <cfset thisPath = expandpath("../video")>
        <cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="Segment1"
destination="#thisPath#" nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE"> 

Where the destination is controlled through a set variable.  As stated
earlier, if I run the code locally, there are no problems.  The problems
only arise when the code is run from a remote location.  Since I am running
the system through an IIS connection, my local machine is the host.

The services I have allowed through my firewall are:
        FTP Server
        NNTP Server
        POP3 Server
        PPTP Server
        SMTP Server
        Web Server
        DNS Server

I'm not sure if I have covered all my bases through my firewall.  That may
be where the problem lies, but I'm not familiar enough with setting up and
administering a public server to be certain.

Thoughts?

Subject: Re: <cffile type="upload"...

Actually CFFILE doesn't use FTP; I'd have to verify this but I  
believe if you use CFFILE it's just transferring the file via HTTP.   
Are you sure the user CF is running as has access/permissions to the
directory where you're trying to save it?  How are you specifying the file
location?  Also, I'm sure this is just a typo in the email, but it's cffile
action="upload" as opposed to type="upload".  Is this a shared hosting
account at a hosting provider?  If so, some hosting companies disable
cffile.

If you can provide some additional details I'm sure collectively we'll be
able to get to the bottom of it.
