#21

Hi,

I ran the script on another computer and it worked fine :confused:

This is what terminal brought back on the machine that doesn’t work

and this is what terminal returned on the machine that the script works on

I’ll cross reference the URL text files and see if I can see any anomalies.

Both these terminal responses are reporting failures. Did you have the “Script Downloaded Images” folder that the script makes present in your Downloads folder on both machines when you ran the terminal command? That’s where I left it downloading to.

Alternately, I can just take that out of the path and download directly to your ~/Downloads folder:

Please try that.

Thanks,

Tom.

Sorry my bad tested again here you go

OK, well, got me. It worked in the top instance, didn’t work in the bottom instance, and there was no error returned when it didn’t work.

So we’ve ruled out something weird about the Applescript that leads to the command being fed to terminal incorrectly (character encoding, escaping spaces, stuff like that.) Because a valid command fed directly into terminal still doesn’t download the file.

I’m afraid I’m at a loss here for what could be going wrong on the machine where it doesn’t work.

Yeah I am also at a loss with this, I though it maybe the version of curl but both machines operating exactly the same.
