One way is if the web server has permissions on the remote server, You could do a simple CFFILE ACTION=READ FILE="\\REMOTESERVER\FILE.TXT"
This is considering that the CF services are running under the same profile that has access to the remote server. ============================ Mindkeeper Solutions website: http://www.mindkeeper.net support: http://support.mindkeeper.net ============================ -----Original Message----- From: Richard Colman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 8:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Reading file contents I wish to read the contents of a file on a remote server via ftp. The lame approach appears to be: <cfftp action="EXISTSFILE" ... See if file is there <cfif CFFTP.succeeded is "yes"> <cfftp connection="coda" action="getfile" ... Get the file from the remote server and write it to the disk on the host server. <cffile action = "read" ... Read the contents of the file from the local server and do somethig with it. Is there a better, faster way to do this, since I have many read operations in a single template. TNX for any ideas on how to make this quicker and more efficient Richard Colman 949-824-1816, 701-5330 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
