Yep found that out too - the almost correct advice is in Bradley's
ColdFusion fast&easy web development book.
The code that worked (but only at the top level FTP folder) is as follows
-- hope this helps.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<!--- Set the BaseDir var to null -- Bradley initially had it set to "ftp"
which did not work -- other strings besides "ftp" also seemed to work -- go
figure --->
<cfset BaseDir = "">
<cfparam name="TargetDir" default="#BaseDir#">
<cfif IsDefined("url.target")>
<cfset TargetDir = url.target>
</cfif>
<cfftp action="OPEN"
server="www.somewhere.org"
username="thesite"
password="xxxxxxxx"
stoponerror="no"
connection="northwind">
<cfset Success = cfftp.succeeded>
<cfif Success>
<!----------- This code and variations on the "directory" line item
didn't seem to work
<cfftp action="CHANGEDIR"
stoponerror="Yes"
directory="/COLAB/"
connection="northwind">
------------->
<!------ This worked and the key seems to be the "." in the "directory"
line item ---->
<!------ The other books had an asterik, or a slash asterik. ------>
<!------ Guess it may be a windows vs unix thing ------->
<cfftp action="LISTDIR"
stoponerror="Yes"
name="ftpdir"
directory="."
connection="northwind">
<cfftp action="putfile"
stoponerror="Yes"
remotefile="newdsp.TST"
localfile="e:\inetpub\wwwroot\clients\lib-com.com\colab\ftp_do
s\dsp5.txt"
connection="northwind">

Kristin,
I had trouble using the guidance for fetching a file directory listing from
an FTP server. Used the on-line help. You may want to make sure that that
section of the text is correct.
