I have used network drive mapping with no problems, going from a WINDOWS host running CF to a LINUX cluster through a samba server. So, even this is possible, but, I am interested the the pros and cons of a UNC path vs. network drive mapping. Would it work in between different OS?
Here is another wrinkle. Would sure love to be able to use CFFILE from a SHARED commercial host (i.e. CrystalTech) to my Linux cluster. Could never figure out how to do it.

If so what would the <CFFILE Exists> code line look like? Use CFFILE, but don't use a drive mapping, use the UNC path to the server share directly. Depending on the permissions of the share, you may need to run the ColdFusion Application service as a user with permissions to access the share. This would look like... <cfset theFile = "\\server\share\file.txt"> <cfif fileExists(theFile)> </cfif> -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229177 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=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
