Rich, the answer is yes providing that:
1) The directory is available on the same network and addressable as
\\server\directory
2) The account that CF is running under has been given enough permissions to
read/list/write/delete from the directory

E.g. I have a CF app that uses cfdirectory on a different LAN but the
network has been set up to trust other domains within the same WAN. The UNC
is \\webserver01\exchange\. CF runs under an account called cf_webserver01
and the shared folder has been given r/w/l/d permissions for the
cf_webserver01 account. Of course if you don't need to write or delete files
then you only need to give it read and list permissions.

HTH.
Gary.

Unc does work with cfdirectory as long as ther username / password
combination works and I think it also works if the remote server is using
samba.

Another option might be to create youself either a webservice running on
that box to interact with or you could create yourself a simple http page
which brings back xml for your other server to work with, certainly would
be
simpler to setup.

Check out simpleviewer by air tight interactive which works with XML

I am highly doubtful this is possible but thought I'd ask...

is it possible to use anything like cfdirectory (or anything to achieve
the
same ends) to retrieve the number of files and the names of all files on a
completely separate , non-CF server under a different host?

I want to create a small photo album type thing with navigation through
pictures but the content is all held on a completely separate server to
the
cf based host server
