my final shot: a quick search through cflib.org yielded no results, but I found these referenced in the MM exchanges:

I tried that .. :( but it didn't work. (sigh) Anyone have any other ideas? It is a IIs connection by the way. And I have called the system owner, and they can't change the name of the directory because there are others also using that directory.

How to get around this? is it an IIS web server you are connecting to? if it is, you might be able to use the dosname (8 character) version of the folder name eg C:\Program Files = C:\Progra~1 (6 characters then a ~1) i don't know about apache though. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 28/05/2003 16:34:27 >>> Thanks for the suggestion Antony. I tried that too, both with the single quotes on the outside, and on the inside. Neither of them work, although they don't throw errors. They just don't do anything. So this doesn't work: <cfftp action="CHANGEDIR" directory="'Custom extracts'" connection="MyConnection"> And nor does this: <cfftp action="CHANGEDIR" directory='"Custom extracts"' connection="MyConnection"> --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- Maddocks Tel: (03) 92880555 International: +61 3 92880555 Fax: (03) 92880666 International: +61 3 92880666 Web: http://www.maddocks.com.au ------------------------------------------------------- The information in this electronic mail is privileged and confidential, intended only for use of the individual or entity named.
