Even if you are having trouble getting the specific error message, can you
describe what's actually happening? Is it timing out or is it actually
getting a hard CF error...? Matt is correct in that this has nothing to do
with FTP, everything you're doing is HTTP over port 80. In effect, what you
are doing is a simple http file upload and then using cffile to move the
file where you want it. There's really no way at all that we can get to the
bottom of this without knowing what is really happening though.

Subject: RE: <cffile type="upload"...
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?

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.

Question: When I am running on my local machine, the <cffile
type="upload"... works great. However, when I'm running across my
public domain hosted on my IIS, I get errors and the files will not
upload. I have verified that my firewall allows ftp access.
Any ideas on what might be wrong? I heard something about needing to
specify port 80 somewhere in the code, but I can't verify this in the
CF help files.
