Stuart,
Several thoughts:
You should be able to do this in a <textarea>, very much as Jason has shown. I
don't think you'll run into permission problems, since CF probably already has
the necessary permissions on web content directories.
I'd pass the complete, fully pathed file name into the template and use CFFILE
to read the file contents and place it into the <textarea>. When you post the
form with the changes, use CFFILE to write the new file. Make _sure_ you're
using appropriate locking, both when reading the file and when writing. That's
where you may run into a problem, if IIS or whatever web server has recently
placed a lock on the file.
I'd definitely much rather use FTP and notepad in a pinch than the above, even
if it meant downloading and installing a trial version of some FTP client from
wherever I was.
If you _really_ have to update source files at a moments notice, then your best
bet would be to carry a notebook computer with CF Studio wherever you go, then
update things via FTP through CF.
I'd also give some serious thought to why you'd need to make changes like this
in the first place - In three years of web programming, I've never found myself
in this situation. Nothing has ever been so badly broken that I couldn't wait
until I got home or into the office the next day to fix it.
Jim
