cfftp

Lets users implement File Transfer Protocol (FTP) operations.

File management tags, Internet Protocol tags

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

• cfftp: Opening and closing FTP server connections
• cfftp: Connection: File and directory operations
• cfftp action = "listDir"

cfhttp, cfldap, cfmail, cfpop

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

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 Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX.
