Remote Scripting: Remote Finder does not copy local files...

Does anybody know why I cannot tell a remote Finder to copy files into a folder that both reside on its own local hard drive?


tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://thk@192.168.0.201"
	copy file "thk:Documents:OLISDISK:ARCHIV:og:og1:og1-74.tif" to folder "Mac:thk:Documents:OLISDISK:copied:"
end tell

	-->	Finder got an error: Can't set folder "Mac:thk:Documents:OLISDISK:copied:" to file "thk:Documents:OLISDISK:ARCHIV:og:og1:og1-74.tif".

All pathes are correct and the file exists as well as the folder does.

Any help is appreciated,

Thomas

The remote Finder runs on Mac OS X 10.3.4 and the script runs on Mac OS X 10.2.8. - But this shouldn’t cause the problem (IMHO).

The first path is incorrect. It lacks the leading “Mac:Users:”…

I added it and it ended up in this:


Finder got an error: Can't set folder "Mac:thk:Documents:OLISDISK:copied:" to file "Mac:Users:thk:Documents:OLISDISK:ARCHIV:og:og1:og1-74.tif".

Seems, that my problem persists…

Since no one else has jumped in…

Try ‘duplicate file’ rather than ‘copy file’.

Happy 4th.

Thanks Peter. This unfortunately leads to the same result…
