>- see footer for list info -< Still not the answer you want, but if you do this:
<cfdirectory action="CREATE" directory="/dir1/dir2/dir3"> It'll create dir1 and dir2 if they don't already exist. So if you can work out what the lowest level directories are you'll get all the parent ones for free. Not so sure about the files though. Or... ... how about zipping up the files and dirs you want to move and then unzipping in the new location? The benefit of this is that the files and dirs won't know a thing, they'll assume there was a little bit of an earthquake or something. Files are so stupid sometimes! Shout if you find something else.
