CFFTP allows users to implement File Transfer Protocol operations. By default, CFFTP caches an open connection to an FTP server.

Note

The CFFTP tag is for moving files between a ColdFusion server and an FTP server. CFFTP cannot move files between a ColdFusion server and a browser (client). Use CFFILE ACTION="UPLOAD" to transfer files from the client to a ColdFusion server; use CFCONTENT to transfer files from a ColdFusion server to the browser.
