Ahhh. You have images that are being uploaded by users!
Okay, here is a shamelessly quick and dirty way around this; assuming you
are using Windows.
Map a drive over, and refer to the mapped drive!
All this part might not be necessary, but its how I'd do it, "just to be
sure". If I'm wrong, ignore the bad parts an' keep the good.
Say your CFAS is running under an account called "CFAS_admin"...
Log onto SQUID as CFAS_admin
Map a drive from \\pig\images , say you call it P:. Also, tell it to
reconnect the mapped drive when restarting.
Now, in your CF code, when your customers upload an image, you CFFILE it
over to P:\{name your sub-directory}, and yer done.
