I'm helping out a potential client with transferring their CF-driven site off their current hosts that they're having some problems with. They don't know if all the files they need for their site are accessible via FTP, so we're looking into it.
I've not dealt a huge amount with CF on Linux servers, so I'm just wondering if someone could help out. There are some entries in their web root, for example 'agreement.cfm' that seem to be shortcuts instead of files (i.e. their icon in my FTP explorer is like a Windows folder with a shortcut arrow in the corner). However, when I click on them, nothing happens, I don't get through to another location, and they can't be downloaded. Is this some way of securing certain CFM files? Is there any way of getting the actual file if this is some sort of Linux mapping? The current hosts are slightly uncooperative - typical situation - so we're trying to salvage everything without their help. As far as the DB (MySQL) is concerned, I've told my client that this is probably down to them trying to get the hosts to cooperate - they don't have the DB login details or anything. Am I right in thinking there's no way of grabbing all the DB data without direct access to it (i.e. via a CF page). All we have is Telnet/FTP access. Any pointers much appreciated!
