Rick, I have one that is similar however, I have it like so: <cfftp connection="lskdf" action="getfile" remotefile="#currentdir#/#name#" localfile="#localfile#" transfermode="binary" timeout="30" retrycount="3" stoponerror="no" failifexists="no">
where above the cfftp, I set the Local file to "g:/DailyFile/" &#name# works no problem, as the name file and currentdir, are both coming from a previous cfftp that lists the dir, and then loops then and the files as a query.
