Cannot move file from web server to client machine

[mikovision]

I need to move a file from the web server to a client machine. Is this possible at all?

I have tried CFFILE Move, this works great if moving files between directories on the server. Can anyone help!

Take a look at <CFCONTENT> in your CFML Language Reference. It allows you to download files to the browser, specifying the MIME type and file name. If the file isn't a type that a browser usually handles, it'll prompt the &quot;save download&quot; dialog.

As far as I understand it, CFFILE, CFFTP, and CFHTTP are all &quot;to-the-server&quot; methods; CFCONTENT is &quot;from-the-server&quot; and probably what you're looking for.

One more option: if that client machine is running an FTP server, you can CFFTP to it.
