Thanks, Jim. I did that but the problem didn't go away. I checked usin g a text output that the code you sent me does indeed yield the correct directory and file, so that's correct, sure enough. But I guess that was n't the error. I still get an error in <h1>tags at the top of the page sayin g : "The attribute FileOnServer must contain a filename with a .htm or .html extension". Could this be the ftp server sending this message? If i t was my CF5 server sending the message it would appear in the debugging message at the bottom of the template wouldn't it.
I don't get this message when I do it using CuteFTP or the DOS FTP progra m. Any other ideas what could be causing the PUTFILE tag to fall over?

Yes, if I recall correctly. If the file is in the same directory as the template, you can use: localfile="#ExpandPath('filetoupload.html')#" Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Kear" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2002 5:18 PM Subject: RE: CFFTP help please .. whats wrong here? > Are you saying that the attribute "localfile" in the putfile tag should b > e > something like > localfile="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\clientsite\workingfolder\filetoupload.h tm > l" > rather than localfile="filetoupload.html"? > > Cheers, > Mike Kear > Windsor, NSW, Australia > AFP WebWorks > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim McAtee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2002 11:11 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: CFFTP help please .. whats wrong here? > > Are you using a fully qualified path to designate the 'localfile'? > > Jim > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mike Kear" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2002 4:57 PM > Subject: CFFTP help please .. whats wrong here? > > > > I'm trying to have a CF template automatically upload a file to a cli en > t's > > site, and I keep getting an error.
