cfile and cfcontent tags problem

[vam123]

<CFFILE ACTION=&quot;Copy&quot;
SOURCE=&quot;\\machine90\sss\shi.txt&quot;
DESTINATION=&quot;\\mecser\e\&quot;
>


<CFCONTENT TYPE=&quot;text/html&quot;
FILE=&quot;\\mecser\e\shi.txt&quot; DELETEFILE=&quot;No&quot;>


i am trying to copy a file from a remote machine to the server and then download the file from the server to the local machine.

i am using the above code. destination drive is on server. i am getting the below error.

Error processing CFFILE

Unable to copy file '\\machine90\sss\shi.txt' to path '\\mecser\e\shi.txt'. Error: The network path was not found. (error 53).

The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFFILE), occupying document position (14:1) to (17:5).

what might be the reason, do i need to map any drives, do i have to map the local drive from the server or the destination drive on the server from the local machine?

please help

I think cffile needs to have a local or mapped drive, as opposed to a network path. Here's what I have done to circumvent the problem:

<cfif #parameterexists(form.xfile)#>

<CFSET thisDirectory= GetDirectoryFromPath(#form.xfile#)>
<CFSET thisFile= GetFileFromPath(#form.xfile#)>

<cffile action=&quot;write&quot; file=&quot;d:\copyfile2.bat&quot; output=&quot;copy #thisDirectory##thisFile# d:\InetPub\

http://wwwroot\somefolder\

>> d:\copyrslt2.txt&quot;>

Then I execute the file I just wrote:

<cfexecute name=&quot;d:\copyfile2.bat&quot;></cfexecute>

Here's an example of a typical &quot;copyfile2.bat&quot;:

copy \\orion\bbartel\C125.xls d:\InetPub\

http://wwwroot\somefolder\

>> d:\copyrslt2.txt
