If you create a domain account with access to the shared drive that will
work. (running cf under that account)
Otherwise if you create an account with the same username & password on each
box that will work too
I do this with out problem..

>>OK got a strange one. I think this will end up being an NT permissions
>>problem but thought one of you may have come across it.
>>
>>I have a web site which sits on 2 seperate web servers. It is
>>load balanced
>>and state is maintained via client variables stored in SQL server on a 3rd
>>machine. All 3 are networked. I have a cfm page on both web
>servers which
>>is attempting to create a file on the 3rd machine using cffile. Both web
>>servers have mapped drives to a folder on the 3rd server so when this cfm
>>page is requested it writes a file to the same place regardless of
>>which web
>>server delivered the page (due to load balancing).
>>
>>The problem I am having is that when CFServer executes the cffile
>>command it
>>says that it can't access the file. I have checked all the permissions on
>>the NT server and that folder is opened up for full access to everyone. I
>>have tried sucessfully to create a file in this folder from a
>dosbox on one
>>of the webservers so the path I'm using is definitely correct. To
>>complicate the problem I have changed the code to write to C:\
>>(which exists
>>on both web servers) as opposed to the mapped drive to the 3rd
>>server. This
>>works fine. However I can't use this as I won't know which C drive it has
>>created the file on due to the load balancing and when request the
>>next page
>>which looks for this file it will not find it if the page gets delivered
>>from the other web server.
>>
>>Finally I put a specific IP address in the url that requests the page that
>>creates the file and subsequently reads it so I could guarantee that it
>>would write and read to the same server (ie bypass load balancing). But
>>when I did this the session auomaically expired (which I don't
>understand).
>>
>>Has anyone ever come across anything remotely similar to this by
>any remote
