Will, Ah... Your problem could be networking. On our network (for example) we have both "internal" and "external" IP addresses running through cisco pix. We have to run an "internal" DNS server to dole out interal IP addresses for the reason you describe below. A web server could not (for example) connect to it's "external" address through the same pix. To troubleshoot this, RDP to the server and then ping the address (the host you are using ... Remote.myserver.com etc) and see what IP is returned. Check with your networking folks on how the server is set up. You will have to log on to the server desktop to be able to troubleshoot effectively. Nothing you do from your workstation to the server will give you sufficient information.

Typing remote.myserver.com 21 I get a connection refused error. Just to make sure we are all clear. The coldfusion server is our webserver. So when I test the cfftp action="open" technically it is trying to open an ftp connection to the same server it is on, which I can see that would be a problem. If not using ftp, how would I move a file from my computer to the coldfusion server? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:319717 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
