OK, I am logged in as Cfusion/bob ( with sys admin prevlidges) to the CF Server, CF Service is changed from LocalSystem to start up thru CFusion/bob login. Thru Windows Explorer I have a UNC where I can see the remote drive and directories (as \\xyz), But still CF server cannot see the or recognize the remote drive on a cffile or cfdirectory thru UNC or any other way. What am I doing wrong, Is there anything else I can try. Also, why is it that when creating a mapping thru CF Administrator, and clicking on the browse button, I only see local drives and not remote drives?

Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 12:42:16 -0400 I think Christopher is correct - go with UNC file descriptions. You are still going to have an issue with server permissions (the Cold Fusion Server user still needs to have access right to the server/drives/directories you are looking towards.) To expand, UNC descriptions would look like: \\StagingServer\E\Archive\January\doc1.htm Rather than the typical mapping: m:\Archive\January\doc1.htm Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/18/02 11:53AM >>> keep in mind that drives are mapped on an account-by-account basis. so, if i'm a user on your machine, the path you have mapped to M:\ in your account is NOT accessible by me. that being said, the CF service runs as LocalSystem, by default. this account will NOT have any mapped drives (if memory serves). if you've changed that, the user under which CF runs must have the drive mapped in THAT profile. more elegant solution: use a UNC for CFFILE and CFDIRECTORY. christopher olive cto, vp of web development, vp it security atnet solutions, inc. 410.931.4092 http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: S V [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 11:41 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFDirectory Network Drive - Help!!!! I am using CF 4.5 with IIS 4. Despite successfully making a mapping to a drive on another machine thru "Mapping a drive", the cold fusion server seems unable to see this server when I try to browse in the "Mapping" section of Cold Fusion Administrator. I can see this drive thru Windows explorer or Command prompt, But CF is unable to do so. This means that CFDirectory or CFFile cannot work. Is there anything that I have to do , or install or setup to get this connection to work? Any help or direction is appreiciated!
