Check the permissions on the folder you are writing to. If your web service is
IIS, and you are allowing anonymous access, then you should have a default
guest account. That account needs to have write permission to the folder
that your cfcontent is pointed to. You should be able to look in IIS to see
what account is being used, and then browse to the folder and view its security
to find out whether that account is listed and what type of access it has.
When I did this, the IIS anonymous access account wasn't even listed - I had to
add it manually. After I did, everything worked as expected.
