If they're text files you could compress them using gzip or java.util.zip (if you can get it working), and then send them using cfhttp post or better still, web services (CFC-based of course)
But you need to write a lot of code to handle the files and you may have to deal with security issues and hardware/software limitations (ie. resuming files?) so kind of defeats the purpose.. I too dislike FTP as it is archaic and clumsy but it still seems the most reliable way to do things.. Kind of like searching with google or using a combustion engine to power a car.. There is just no better option.. My 2 cents BTW, thanks Mark for recommending argoUML.. It's good to know what people are using. I'll have another look at it. -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dale Fraser Sent: Tuesday, 15 August 2006 11:09 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Getting Rid of FTP I think you will find that FTP is the quickest protocol for transferring binary files across the internet. I'm not sure why you find it slow, but you shouldn't it's only limited by your internet speed. You could use CFHTTP but it will be slower.

I hate it. We have documents that we transfer from one location to another. The biggest issue with FTP is how slow it is. IS there a way in CF to transfer the documents without using FTP, i.e. binary or something like that. Or am I stuffed here.
