Hello, We are developing a CFFTP tag replacement.
If you would like to try it go to http://plato.venus.co.uk/demo/bimal/cfx_ftptransfer/index.html Let me know how you get along.

I'm sick of this CFFTP and it's not worth go ing on. I'm just going to continue to use CuteFTP and put CFFTP down as yet another part of ColdFusion that doesn't work because it has piss poor documentation. It's simply not possible to make CFFTP work if you follo w the documentation. There are other aspects that aren't listed. There's n o description of this problem nor anything that helps fix it. I know writing documentation is very difficult, but this is version 5. CFFTP has been there for ages. They ought to have it properly documented by now.

Mike, If I can recall correctly. If you are using a form with an enctype="multipart/form-data" and using that variable as your remotefile. It usually has a temp variable from windows. like this. C:\WINNT\ACF56.tmp I usually force the extention on the remotefile. Here is an example of c ode that I use for ftp images to the server. <cfset ImageName = lookuprec.rec_id & '.jpg'> <cfftp action="OPEN" server="#variables.systemurl#" username="#variables.systemftpusername#" password="#variables.systemftppassword#" stoponerror="Yes" connection="ServerConnection" retrycount="5"> <cfftp action="CHANGEDIR" stoponerror="Yes" directory="images\topst ory\" connection="ServerConnection"> <cfftp action="PUTFILE" stoponerror="Yes" localfile="#form.picturen ame#" remotefile="#Variables.ImageName#" transfermode="AUTO" connection="ServerConnection"> <cfftp action="CLOSE" stoponerror="Yes" connection="ServerConnectio n"> I don't know if this will help or not.
