Our CFMX application needs to do a lot of file manipulation (moving files to production, archive, etc). I've used the cfdirectory and cffile tags for a while to do these operations, but as we grow, those tags just don't scale terribly well.
I've run a few tests where I invoked XCOPY from within a cf page, and the file operations were just blindingly fast. However, there are two apparent problems with XCOPY: 1) sometimes, for unexplained reasons, XCOPY doesn't actually copy everything I ask it to; 2) I don't see an easy way to get an "I'm done" response back from XCOPY, so I can tell my CFMX application to continue on to the next task. Of course, it's possible that I'm missing some basic information that would make either cffile faster or would make my XCOPY problems go away, but assuming I have all my ducks in a row, I'm wondering what other solutions are available to me? I am sort of loathe to install additional software on our servers, as it makes application portability a little more tedious, but I'm not completely against it. Our application runs on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
