So effectively, your steps under this solution are: 1) Create a CFUser Account 2) Ensure that account has sufficient privileges to the resources it needs, such as the share on the remote server) 3) Set the CF service to use that CFUser Account on the Login tab of the Service properties screen 4) If you are using MX7 and intend to index this directory using Verity, also set the ColdFusion Search Service to use this account 5) Test using <cfdirectory directory ="//server//share/directory/"....>
I think that about covers it, right? - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 4:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: drive mapping for CF to use > I tried googling for this, but had not success.

However, if CF is running as a user with the appropriate credentials already, as it would within a domain environment if configured to do so, you can just specify the UNC path like you would any other filesystem path. At least, that's been my experience with CF tags in general that access the filesystem.
