History
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 Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX.
