Thanks all who offered the help with CFFile not writing to the networked
drive.  Going into services and expliciting allowing a login seemed to be
the answer.  Basically, if you ever have this problem again, Aaron offered
this:

"Connecting to Network Datasources from Stand-alone Servers
http://www.allaire.com/Handlers/index.cfm?ID=1622&Method=Full"

JayB also offered the same instructions in another e-mail.

Either way, even though this article gives directions related to a remote
database on the network, it also seems to apply to using CFFile to interact
with a networked drive/server.

That problem is solved, but I'm still not all of the way home yet on getting
the applciations in question to work as they once did.

For a recap, I'm using Win2K now.  When I first upgraded, all of my old
local applications worked fine (read and write a service of files and FTP
the results to a remote server).  The apps were originally written under
Win95, where obviously they worked.  

Now that I am able to once again write files to the remote drive, I need to
CFFTP them to the server, but CFFTP timing out in the transfer process.

I've double checked all of the paths and everything is fine.  I've ran
WS_FTP to confirm FTP on the remote server is working. I've also ran DOS FTP
as a confirmation process.  There is no problem there.  I can also run this
same application to the server in question from a different remote server.

I can open an FTP connection to the server using CFFTP.  I can do a ListDir
using CFFTP, but when I try to write a file, the only thing that shows up on
the server is a completely empty file and I get a timeout error message. It
doesn't matter whether the file I'm trying to PUTFILE is on the networked
drive or my local hard drive. Either way, it times out.  It also times out
if I try to GETFILE.

So, I'm stuck again.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Best,
H.
