cfftp

Description

Lets users implement File Transfer Protocol (FTP) operations.

Syntax

The tag syntax depends on the action attribute value. See the following sections:

History

ColdFusion MX 7: Added the result attribute for file and directory operations.

ColdFusion MX: Deprecated the agentname attribute. It might not work, and might cause an error, in later releases.

Usage

Use this tag to move files between a ColdFusion server and an FTP server.

This tag does not move files between a ColdFusion server and a client browser. You do this as follows:

To transfer files from a client to a ColdFusion server: cffile action = "upload"
To transfer files from a ColdFusion server to a client: the cfcontent tag

Security settings

ColdFusion MX security settings can prevent the cfftp tag from executing. If you run ColdFusion applications on a server that is used by multiple customers, consider the security of the files that the customer can move. For more information, see the "Administering Security" section of Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX.

cfftp throws an error when the files within the directory in to the gigabyte range. A file with the size of 2,211,904KB will produce an error.

Part of this tag directory = ... only works when the directory
has no spaces in it... ie directory = "project focus" will not
work and directory = "projectfocus" works... bummer

To pass a string into a BLOB, set the value of the getasbinary attribute of the cfhttp tag to “yes”.
