RE: Problem with view uploaded files (problem solved)
Hi Philip, Thanks for your time. Now the solution is to copy the file from the forth server to the local server then view it from there. The credit should go to Shaun, the manager of Ottawa user group. I also thank everybody who takes time to consider this problem.

RE: Problem with view uploaded files
Hi Philip, Thanks for your time. But even the files uploaded hours ago still the same. It must be something to do with the path to the server. I believe when talking about the directory not on the same server, there is a difference between pathes used in CFFILE and the CFcontent , though they point to the same place. Just don't know what it is. I can use \\servername\uploadfold\ in CFFILE to upload files to another server, but cannot use the same path to view it with CFcontent. Then tried to use http://.; still not working. Thanks again.
