I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish with CFHTTP. Would this happen after the user has uploaded a file locally? If my guess is correct, what kind of response do you get when you use CFHTTP? Presumably, you get an error message? You should be able to use CFHTTP METHOD="PUT" with CFHTTPPARAM TYPE="FILE". Are you sure you can write to the remote share using WebDAV at all? Have you tested this? As an alternative to this approach, which seems a bit ugly, why not use something else to get files from the local drive to the remote share? A scheduled task, or a watched directory, etc? If you're running CF in the multiserver configuration, you could even use a separate CF instance just for this, with the appropriate security context for that instance only.
