Is it possible to create a folder action that will automatically ftp any newly added contents of that folder to a certain location on a remote machine? I don’t know what the heck I’m doing when it comes to applescript, but this would make it so much easier for me to quickly upload stuff to a remote location rather than using the ftp client in dreamweaver or just ftping from the terminal. Here’s what I’ve attempted with no success:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
set fullURL to “ftp://username:password@remotefolder/here/”
tell application “URL Access Scripting”
upload added_items to fullURL replacing yes with progress without binhexing
end tell
tell application “URL Access Scripting” to quit
display dialog “Upload complete” giving up after 10
end adding folder items to
Is there an app out there that does something like this? I don’t really want to buy another ftp client if I don’t have to. I thought a folder action would be ideal. All the dropFTP type programs I’ve found don’t really sound like what I’m after. Maybe I’m not looking in the right place. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
