Cant write to a Server with cffile

[kensington43]

I want to copy a Word Document from my Windows NT web Server to an Info Server:

<cflock name="theLock" type="EXCLUSIVE" timeout="30">
<cffile action="copy" source="C:\theDoc.doc" destination="\\\infoServer\theDirectory\">
</cflock>

I keep getting error message:
The cause of this exception was: java.io.FileNotFoundException: \\\infoServer\theDirectory\ (Access is denied).


The weird part is I own the directory and can create documents in this directory on the info server AND I have a Perl script that can copy this file (theDoc.doc) into this Info server. I would rather do this with Cold Fusion, so why does Cold Fusion MX 6.0 say access denied??

this means that you either don't have permission to read a file on c:\theDoc.doc on the server or the file theDoc.doc does not exist on c:\


hope it helps...

not YOU, but the cf server doesn't have permissions.

also you may want to try using the ip of the server vice the server name.

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.

Thanks, I assume there is a setting on the Cold Fusion server?

If so what is it? If it is something I cant do then I will use Perl for this task.

You would need to go into Windows Services and edit the user that Coldfusion runs under. You would need to run it under a user that had access to the network.

Hope this helps
