I'd use FTP since that's what it's designed for. The method you're talking about sounds like a TON of data over HTTP. With all that data you're transferring, FTP might be a better bet. If you need tracking and such, maybe you can do use Event Gateways in Blackstone to handle the uploads and link them in a database.

Were expecting a heavy load, up to 40 000 file transfers a day and a total 'document pool' of up to a TB. Were considering using a NAS store running through DFS in windows. Anyone knows of any pitfalls of talking to this through CFfile? Anyone got any better ideas? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:184118 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
