You should probably create a specific ColdFusion service account and assign to s group on the domain and start ColdFusion up with that (no doubt starts as Local System now as most people never change that). That way you can control the access that service across the network.

Hi guys, I'm trying to find a way that I can copy a file from one server to another (there Windows 2003 servers) using either CFFILE or a CFEXECUTE command to run what I need through Xcopy or Robocopy. At the moment I'm getting a error message telling me "The cause of this exception was: java.io.FileNotFoundException: \\xx.xx.xx.xx\CFTEST-Upload\TEST.txt (Access is denied). " if I try this. Looking around online I found this article which could explain how to solve this... http://forums.devshed.com/coldfusion-development-84/writing-a-file-to-anothe r-server-364543.html ......what I'm wondering though is if there is any security risks in giving ColdFusion these kinds of permissions to start writing to another server?
