Well, I was finally able to duplicate my user's error and found the problem. It was nothing more than a simple spelling error on my part.
Boy, do I feel stupid. ________________________________ Gary L.

Even if you are having trouble getting the specific error message, can you describe what's actually happening? Is it timing out or is it actually getting a hard CF error...? Matt is correct in that this has nothing to do with FTP, everything you're doing is HTTP over port 80. In effect, what you are doing is a simple http file upload and then using cffile to move the file where you want it. There's really no way at all that we can get to the bottom of this without knowing what is really happening though. --Ferg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary L.
