I am trying to write a file to a USB drive located at /media/user/drive_name
The directory I am working in is /var/www/html/site_folder
<cffile action="write" file="../../../../media/user/drive_name/hello.txt" output="hello">
I get "Parent directory for /media/user/drive_name/hello.txt doesn't exist"
I have tried reading the file and it tells me it is not a file.
Anyone have experience with this?
This throws an error:
<cffile action="write" file="../../../../media/user/drive_name/hello.txt" output="hello">
Parent directory for /media/user/drive_name/hello.txt doesn't exist
But this returns permission info:
<cfdump var="#getFileInfo("/media/user")#">
Your initial code is trying to reference the /media folder / drive from a relative path. On Linux, you should be able to access a root / mount folder directly from the main directory.
Can the server read this file?
<cffile action="read" file="/media/user/drive_name/hello.txt" variable ="content">
Thank you Adrian J Moreno for your reply. Yes I had tried it both relative and absolute and neither worked. What did finally work is we had to run Lucee as the root user which gave it permission.
