Did you open the connection first?
<cfftp action="OPEN"
server="ftp.someserver.com"
username="myusername"
password="mypassword"
stoponerror="Yes"
connection="FTP">
I believe that if you're going to do an FTP operation, you need to open the
connection first (or, at least if you're going to use the "connection"
attribute and name a connection, that is referring to a connection you
opened as above).
