If I can't figure it out soon, I am leaning toward this kind of approach and OnSessionEnd sounds good to do clean. I've actually never really used OnSessionEnd so I probably need some experience there anyway.
My main concern with a new approach like this is I would assume the use of cffile to make the copy. If CF can't serve a 5 to 10mb file correctly then it might have a hard time making a copy of the file. I would assume that making a copy of the file would use less resources though than serving it for download? Any thought on that before I start off on a new path would be cool. Thanks so much for the input. I like it!!!

Added benefit is that CF is out of the picture and the webserver will take care of transferring the file... /m : Also could it be that cfcontent is not such a good approach for doing what I : described. Basically keeping the files out of the webroot for security. Is : there another better approach. Maybe create a process that temporarily : creates a folder and copy of the file for a normal direct link to download : and then wipe it off after a time. That was just a quick thought. : Dusty ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor FigLeaf Software - http://www.figleaf.com To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=gin.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor FigLeaf Software - http://www.figleaf.com To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
