RE: CFFILE DESTINATION question
You would need to know the "physical" location of the virtual web server your site is located at. They would need to advise you of this.

Re: CFFILE destination error
Daniel, I don't think CFFILE supports UNC paths... permissions notwithstanding. I think it expects a drive/directory on Windows. I'll test a lil more, but I'm thinking it's not going to work.

Re: CFFILE destination error
I can UNC directly from the Run... command to the text file in question, but CFFILE can't find it. The only thing I can think of to test this is using a privileged account (like a Domain Admin) that might give you higher privs to access remote files... but that's Really Not a Good Idea.

Re: CFFILE destination error
OK, one last followup... I just tested it using UNC to hit a file located on the same machine I've got CF Dev edition running on... and it worked. This is MX 7. So we at least know that MX 7 can do it if it has the right privs. So I'm guessing what you're experiencing is privs... what you could do is create a user account for CFMX on the server and have it run under that account intstead of.. oh... duh... Local Service isn't going to have foreign privs anyway. Sorry... you'll definitely have to create a domain account for CFMX to run under, then give that account privileges to access the file you want. Let me know if you need more help.

Re: CFFILE destination error
If you're still running CFMX under the System account (assuming CFMX on
Win), then it won't have access to foreign folders at all.
\D:\ or \D$\?
You need to test this against \\localhost\{drive}$\folder or change the
account under which CFMX runs (available via properties for that service in
the Services control panel) to access share points on remote boxes.

I have used UNC paths. Have you tried a trailing "\" in your path? I remember that is/was required but not sure if in CFFILE paths.
