Hi Stefan,

if you only want to read or write data from/to a FTP Server,
the simplest solution is using the curl command in Terminal

http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html

Hi Stefan,

thanks a lot for your help! I have been playing with it - and came to the first problem! How can I make
the output into a nsbrowser?


	if name of theObject is "connect" then
		
		set ftpa to contents of text field "host" of drawer "settings" of window "main"
		set pass to contents of text field "pass" of drawer "settings" of window "main"
		set user to contents of text field "user" of drawer "settings" of window "main"
		
		set connect to "curl -l ftp://" & user & ":" & pass & "@" & ftpa & return
		
		do shell script connect
		set contents of browser "browser" of window "main" to connect
	end if

thanks for your help!

Hi Stefan,

The URL should have the format “ftp.mydomain.com/path/”
Assuming that the variable ftpa contains the URL, try the following syntax:

set connect to "curl -l " & ftpa & " -u " & user & ":" & pass
set contents of browser "browser" of window "main" to (do shell script connect)

remove the return at the end, the line includes a return.
Maybe that’s the problem
