connecting to an ftp site using CF?
I can get to this file in a browser: ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/decoded/KHWV.TXT So I assumed that I could simply use cfhttp to grab the contents of that file. I was apparently wrong. So, I'm attempting to use cfftp for the first time and it's not all that intuitive. I'm trying to open a connection straight to that file but I get an error: cfset theURL = ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/decoded/KHWV.TXT; cfftp action=open username= password= server=#theURL# But I get an error: An exception occurred when establishing a FTP connection. The cause of this exception was that: java.net.UnknownHostException: ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/decoded/KHWV.TXT. The error occurred on line 3. Line 3 being the cfftp call. So then I try with just the domain: ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov And get the same error. Then I tried copying the code directly from the MM docs and I get the same error. We're running CFMX 6.1 on a *nix server. Is there something I'm doing wrong? !//-- andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.
