My ISP had changed my login procedure from userName to
email@hidden recently and that caused URL access to spit the
dummy. I had a lot of scripts that used URL Access Scripting and
they'd all been rendered useless. In my search for alternatives I
discovered a host of scriptable FTP tools at
http://www.macorchard.com/ftp.html.
One stood out because its modus operandi matched my uses and needs so well.
We keep our web site in FMPro and we export the data to our local
folder, then call an applescript to upload via FTP using URL Access
Scripting. Now that's broken and we need another tool to do the job.
We've just started experimenting with a piece of software called
Mirror.
Mirror and will upload and download. It doesn't actually mirror
because it doesn't do any deleting at either end. You create a Mirror
document with a local and remote path, Mirror will upload or download
new or modified files from one to the other. Make as many documents
as you need to replicate your web site. Call the appropriate document
from FMPro with an AppleEvent (no need to write an appleScript) and
that's that. The document handles everything else.
