Chapter 12. Working with Files
Fortunately for us developers, ColdFusion MX gives us many opportunities to leverage the file system, the network servers, and even the system registry when we need to build a certain feature into our applications.
In this chapter, we look at how we can use ColdFusion MX to read, write, edit, and manage files on our server. We’ll also discover how we can use ColdFusion to gain access to other servers through the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
