[cfaussie] Re: Seeing files on a remote server

[Brett Payne-Rhodes]

You can use cfdirectory and cffile if you can establish a remote 
connection to the server via the operating system. This is normally set 
up externally to CF and to CF the remote machine just looks like a local 
disk. (Someone chip in here if I've over simplifying or have the wrong 
end of the stick). One trap though. The service that CF runs under 
usually doesn't have network access and the solution is normally to 
create a seperate account for the CF service to run under and to give 
that account network access.

can't cfdirectory or cffile to a remote server?

not that way. 

But you could just go thru, cfhttp them and save them onto your CF
server and then do whatever you wanted with them.

yeah, you can have all the files stored in a web accessible path on 
the local machine.

And when someone browses to it they get a page like this: 
http://12.100.23.254:8080/photos/iraq/

(just picked this from google... i've no idea what it is...)
you can have this page (or whole site) password protected, only 
serving on a certain port to certain IPs etc.

I assume that you have a public IP address for this local box?

CF is running on the remote box, not the local.  Does that solution 
still work?

I am looking to allow the remote CF box to see the local non-CF box.

Have a webserver (say apache) running on that machine, and when 
files are uploaded, the other box could browse over and see what's 
there. You'll need to allow directory listing pages. You could lock 
it down with passwords etc. use cfhttp to retrieve listing and 
download files.

Is there a way to allow a Cold Fusion driven site to see files on 
a remote server that is not running CF?  I have a file management 
system

whereby Party A uploads files to a remote box (running CF) and 
Party

B

downloads files from the box.
Is it possible to have Party A instead "point" to files on a local

box, and Party B download files from the local box?
