I build the following into a scheduled task recently to cleanup my CF temporary files. I put files here when they’re uploaded, being processed, or temporary attachments that are being mailed out. Because of my mail spooler settings, I’d rather not CFFILE DELETE them immediately, but rather a day or so later.
I see questions posted in various places regarding ColdFusion applications trying to access remote network shares. The most common problem in doing this is getting denied access — and the most common troubleshooting step is logging into the server and accessing the share. They can often access the share just fine. Unfortunately, this thought process is flawed. The reason is because ColdFusion is not running as any user who is logged in, it is running using a service account (such as one you’ve created, or LocalSystem). This account probably doesn’t have access to the remote share.
