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.
