[cfaussie] Re: CFFTP with long directory name? How to get around this?

Thanks Spike.  The trouble is we don’t own the server. The file is on an information supplier’s server, and (a) he doesn’t want to change his server set up just for us, and (b) we’re too cheap to pay for a special service where they deliver the file to us daily. <g>   Instead I’m having to go get the file off their server daily and then unpack the zip file, read it into ColdFusion, write it to a database, then use it in an interactive page on our site.   Sort of a poor-man’s web service I guess.    There’s no point discussing xml or SOAP or any of that stuff with them.   We get our data in a zip file packaged up how the source IT guy wrote it, and that’s it.       Cheers, Michael Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia AFP Webworks.         -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Spike Sent: Wednesday, 28 May 2003 5:24 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: CFFTP with long directory name? How to get around this?   Can't you create an FTP user whose root and home directory is the same as the directory you want to get to. That way you would avoid the problem. If you can't do that from IIS, you might be able to use another FTP server on a different port.
