Need CFFILE to write to network directory

[blue186]

Hi,

I'm writing to an XML file but it only works when I specify a local drive: Such as:

<!--- LOCAL DIRECTORY --->
<cffile action=&quot;Write&quot;
file=&quot;d:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\Floor_Supt\RASFORMCONFIG.xml&quot;

output=&quot;#variables.FullXml#&quot;>

However, when I need to write it to a different network server, I get errors indicating that the file can't be found. Such as:

<!--- TEST ENVIRONMENT --->
<cffile action=&quot;Write&quot;
file=&quot;\\cse002\RAS_Printing\RASFORMCONFIG.xml&quot;
output=&quot;#variables.FullXml#&quot;>

I have already created a blank RASFORMCONFIG.xml file in the test environment to be overwrriten but it doesn't matter. I've also tried mapping. I still get the same error. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!!

There might be a problem with your path that's why it can't be found. If your CF template is on the same directory as the XML file, try just using the file name and see if it works:

file=&quot;RASFORMCONFIG.xml&quot;

Otherwise, try experimenting opening the file in your Explorer window and copy/pasting the path (with file name added) to make sure the path is correct. There might also be problems with the case-sensitivity (is the file name spelled exactly the same as the existing one?) or file access permissions.

Hope this helps.
