Usually this is to do with rights.... CF by default is installed on the
system account which only has access to the local machine... What you will
probably have to do is change the CF Service to run under a user account
that has access to that machine...

Subject: CFCONTENT not serving files via UNC paths


I've got a piece of code that serves up PDFs, and it seems to have a problem
when the file is an a different machine:

<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="\\database\output\10096-low.pdf"
deletefile="No">

I don't even get a useful error message, it gets chewed up and I only see
the end of it. However, if I change the file attribute to some file (that
doesn't even exist), but using the drive letter notation, the code works. Is
this a known behavior?

Thanks
