Well, you can't specify credentials with CFDIRECTORY. However, if CF is
running as a user with the appropr

Hmm,
So then if there are multiple mapped network drives (hence with multiple
credentials), you have to have a startup script that runs and maps all
these drives.
I guess this is part of a bigger problem when you are working

No. Regular mapped drives in Windows use drive letters to point to SMB/CIFS
shares, and typically you wouldn't open SMB traffic to public networks.

I guess this is part of a bigger problem when you are working with
distributed storage of media and you have one application trying to

No, it won't work if you're using different credentials than those of t
Will this persistence happen even if newUserAccount on the CF server
needs a username and password to map the network drive? This username

Whoops forgot to mention that before step 5 you have to change the

If the UNC path doesn't work out, you can create a system level
mounted drive (as opposed to a user level mounted drive and setting
coldfusion to run as a specific user) and set your web root there or
use cffile to pull files from it. This will work because coldfusion
naturally runs at the 'system'

Doh, as others have said, it's UNC not UDF. I've got functions on the brain
today.

Why do you use a drive mapping? Can you not use the \\IPADDRES\sharename
notation?

I would recommend using a UDF path in the code and running CF as a user that
has access to it instead of usin
Give the CF service through the services control panal a specific user account
that has access to the desired mapped drive ours has it own user account just
for this reason. We do this on our network to allow us to use CF templates to
read directories on other network resources.

Don't use a mapped drive - use a UNC path instead. For example:
instead of
x:\inetpub\wwwroot
use
\\server\sharename\inetpub\wwwroot
