The user will upload a video news file using a form, and I need to put it on a few external servers (external meaning on our network, but not the CF server). > 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". I don't get an error from cfhttp, but the files don't show up on the server. I even used cftry->cfcatch type=any, and still no errors. Here's one version of the code that I tried that didn't work: <cfhttp URL="http://bellary/ENews-milan/"; port="181" method="put"> <cfhttpparam type="file" file="#form.filename#" name="VideoFile"> </cfhttp> ENews-milan is the IIS Virtual Directory I created for this purpose. > Are you sure you can write to the remote share using WebDAV at all? Have you > tested this? Nope, I haven't tried this as I'm not sure what WebDAV is. I'll do some research and give that a try. Again, I'm not sure the best way to approach this as all this Windows development is making my head hurt. ;) > 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?

Right now the users manually put the files on the servers themselves, and we want to do this for them. It might turn out that the best way to do this is a watched directory like you stated. But the user needs to fill in a bunch of details about these files that get loaded to a DB and then posted on their Intranet site (we do this part manually right now), and our hope was to let them do all of this from one simple page. If you or anybody else knows a better way to do this, please speak up. The cfhttp method was just one thing we tried, but we aren't married to that idea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
