CFFILE Uploading files from network share

[albarlousta]

Help Please!!!
I have a mission critical application which uses CFFILE to upload documents.
It works fine on the testing environment but fails on the live server, giving a
"String index out of range -4" error each time.

Major difference between test/live is that users on the test site were
uploading documents from their local hard-drives and on the live version the
users are connected from "dumb" terminals which don't have hard-drives and the
files are held on a shared file network.

ie.
When uploading in the test enrironment the path to the file to be uploaded is
something like "c:\documents\some_document.txt"

When uploading in the live environment the path to the file to be uploaded is
something like "\\svvnz.somename.com.au\BarlowD1$\My
Documents\some_document.txt"

Could this have something to do with the CF service user permissions???

Any help greatly appreciated!

your brains processor for a few moments... THANKS!

If you're on Windows the CF service runs under the local system account
which does not have network access. You'll have to change the user CF
is running as to a user with network access and permissions to the
shares you want to use, and then you should be fine.
