You don’t tell us what’s going wrong

also, you may want to dump Fetch for your AppleScripting needs. cURL seems to be the way to go these days, and it’s built into OS X.

the native FTP client can also be scripted very easily. you should check both ‘man curl’ and ‘man ftp’ and see if they don’t have what you need. also, a search of these boards for ‘curl’ might be of use.

cheers.
