[thelist] Coldfusion : CFFTP without source "file"

[Bimal Shah]

Hi,

Is there any way to transfer "content" e.g value in a coldfusion
variable via ftp WITHOUT creating a file on the 
local server first place?

At the moment I am using cffile:write to place content into a file then
using cfftp:putfile to place this file on the remote server. 
Ideally I would like to transfer content directly 
via ftp.

The reason I don't like to create this file is:
1. Resource: creating lots of temporary files on local server
2. Need to delete the file after it has been used for ftp
3. Security (maybe possible for someone to view these files)
4. Possibility of 'orphan' files if process terminates before
cleaning up etc (or ftp processes fail etc)

cheers

Bimal
