RE: CFFILE .. access denied.
Todd, I had the same problem. Have the Network Admin make sure the Anonymous user has access to read and write files in those directories. -Original Message- From: Todd Ashworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 05, 2000 1:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CFFILE .. access denied.

Upload the new file to a temp directory 4. Move the file from the temp directory to the production directory and rename it at the same time (while keeping its original extension).

Re: CFFILE .. access denied.
If you are using IIS then the reason is because IIS caches static files. When the file is cached it is locked for 60 seconds, I think. So, you would need to disable the IIS caching (there are articles on how to do this) but that would degrade overall server performance...

It sounds like the server doesn't have permission to save to that folder or that it doesn't have permission to delete the new file from the temp directory. Does the intermittent error happen or not happen depending on the file names? -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
Re: CFFILE .. access denied.
Yeah I get this sometimes too. I think it has something to do with IIS having a hold on the image and not letting anything else touch it. It only happens when I do and upload, look at the result on the website then try and upload again. -- Ric Smith > I am uploading a file using CFFILE that can then be immediately viewed on a > web page.

The only way to turn off this "feature" is to pretty much disable all file caching, which can kill the performance of the web server. Further complicating this issue is the fact that once you delete the original file with CFFILE subsequent tests using FileExists() will return false, but any attempt to overwrite that file (through renaming or uploading) while it remains in the IIS cache will result in an error. This means that, short of wrapping the code in a CFTRY/CFCATCH block there is no way to test for this condition. At least, this is the way things have worked out in my experience.
