CF (5.0) is running w/ admin permissions.
I am able to get to the same file using <cfdirectory... list>; then surround the file name by <a herf> for my internal users this is fine; however, for users going through the webpage( behind the gateway), I do not want them to be able to change the original file.
--this does not work
<cfset requestedFile="\\myfileServer\firstFolder\secondfolder\kristen testing\kristen test.pdf">
however, if I put the same file on the CF SERVER it does work
<!--- <cfset requestedFile="d:\kristen test.pdf"> --->
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="#requestedFile#" deletefile="No">
