Setting up FTP is outside of the scope of ColdFusion, it is a server configuration issue.

Once FTP is configured, you can connect to your CF directories the same way you would any FTP resource. You can also use CF to programatically perform FTP tasks with CFFTP, but I don't think this is what you are asking for.

Sorry I can't be more help, I just get space from a hosting company and they do all the FTP work for me...hehe

< cfftp action="putfile "server="ftp.miosito.it" stoponerror="yes "username="bobby" password="pass1 "localfile="C:\Documents and Settings \">


will that work?

It should work as long as your network allows port 21 going out, and that all the fields (user name, password, target ftp server, etc.) are correct.

In other words, if something is wrong, it is not in the CFFTP tag (it's been in use for years), it's somewhere either in your settings or in the network.

o ic, do u know any FTP servers, like very STABLE
