If you use the filesystem browser applet in the CF Administrator, your web
server must accept and handle RDS requests correctly. RDS is the protocol
used by editors like Dreamweaver and Homesite to allow editing of files and
database browsing on your CF server.

RDS requests are sent via HTTP, but always request the same file:

GET /CFIDE/Main/ide.cfm

By default, this file may not exist, and if your web server tests for the
existence of files before passing the request to CF, you'll need to create
the file.

This shouldn't cause any other problems. In fact, it's a good idea to have
RDS disabled on production servers (which would break the filesystem browser
applet). So, you may decide to just not worry about it at all.
