RE: CF hosting needed
Well, I'm on the hosting end of the equation. My issue is a way to enable CFFILE-like function for my customers without enabling any more security problems than I already have with FTP. You've just given me one more reason I'll never enable ASP on my servers (apart from the fact I don't have the time or patience to deal with more than one CF-like product). best, paul At 08:44 AM 9/18/00 +0930, you wrote: >Paul, > >I encountered this problem when I used a CF hosting service with these tags >disabled.

Just as a word of warning, providers of ASP shared hosting who are concerned about security will disable this object for obvious reasons.

RE: CF hosting needed
Paul, I encountered this problem when I used a CF hosting service with these tags disabled. For me the solution was simple. Since most CF hosts will be using Windows NT, you can most certainly expect them to support ASP. All you'll have to do is to write an ASP template using FileSystemObject object to open a file, and then use CFHTTP to access that ASP template and to return the file as cfhttp.content, which you can then manipulate as a string. I have a partially written custom tag for this, and I can send this to you. THat is, if I can find it... Hope this helps.

RE: CF hosting needed
Anyone have any comments on the CFFILE replacements in Allaire's tag gallery, CFX_File & CFX_Secure_Functions? It appears to me they introduce password protection, but not other functions that would be nice such as directory restriction by password, no *.EXE, etc, that would bring functionality up to FTP capability. Any other tags around? best, paul At 12:38 PM 9/17/00 -0400, Steve Pierce wrote: >The reason many of those features are turned off is because of security >concerns.

RE: CF hosting needed
The reason many of those features are turned off is because of security concerns. You have to balance shared hosting with good security while providing good service. Hosting companies that just open up the entire server are likely to be very unreliable. Sandboxing is also only available under CF Enterprise which costs something like $5,000 per server. So many hosting companies use Pro ($1,500) which doesn't have sand boxing. If you need every feature turned on in CF, then your best solution is to go with a dedicated or collocated server that you have full control over and more importantly, no one else does. - Steve -Original Message- From: Barbara J.
