However there's a bug with CFFTP in CFMX that means you cannot VAR the connection variable as an arbitrary data type (such as an empty string). You have to VAR it as an object of the Java class that <cfftp> wraps, or <cfftp> will error.<br /><br />The defalt value must be createObject("java",<br />"coldfusion.oroinc.net.ftp.FTPClient").init()<br /><br /><br />EG:<br /><code><br /><cfset var ftpConn = createObject("java",<br />"coldfusion.oroinc.net.ftp.FTPClient").init()><br /><br /><cfftp action="open" server="localhost" stoponerror="yes" username="adam" password="cameron" connection="ftpConn"><br /></code> Adam Cameron 0 0 2005-01-12T12:18:37 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p40.htm#17870 With action="open" and stopOnError="no" if the login fails (wrong password for instance), error variables ( cfftp.succeeded ..) are not set to reflect a problem untill the next operation is performed on the cached operation.<br />I would have expected the error variables to be set after the open call.
