1) remove the cffile
2) change the <cfhttp to something like:

<cfhttp url="#application.online_question_image_location##IMAGE_LINK#"
method="get" path=""#MCQ_FOLDER#\images\">

3) while you're at it, change the <cfoutput to a <cfloop, since you're
not outputting anything.


I tried this with the file you specified & it downloaded onto my test
server with no problems.
