Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Getting Started / August 2006launching applications with CF
Hello - My company is considering a Web page as an application launcher. Essentially it would be a page that displays images of the program icons, and when the user clicks an icon, the executable runs (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\WINWORD.EXE). Is there any ColdFusion code that will run an executable from a user's hard drive or network share? Is there any ColdFusion code that will run an executable from a user's hard drive or network share? <cfexecute...> will launch many applications, from the point of view of the the CF-Server and the user it runs under. I suspect what you really want is not going to work well. A ColdFusion server has almost no ability to interact with a client system. If it did it would be a huge security risk and people would be abusing it all over the place. |
