I use URL Access Scripting, because it allows you to transfer files
transparently in the background. Here's a sample script:
-- begin script
property FTPfilename : "test.html"
property FTPusername : "username"
property FTPpassword : "password"
property FTPhost : "www.domain.com"
property FTPpath : "pub/incoming/"
set filePath to (path to startup disk as text) & "Desktop Folder:" &
FTPfilename
set myURL to "
ftp://"; & FTPusername & ":" & FTPpassword & "@" & FTPhost &
"/" & FTPpath & FTPfilename
log filePath
log myURL
try
-- try connecting for 5 minutes
with timeout of 300 seconds
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
upload filePath to myURL replacing yes without binhexing
quit
end tell
end timeout
on error the errmsg number errnum
tell application "URL Access Scripting" to quit
if the errnum is not -128 then
tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
beep
display dialog "URL Access Scripting error: " & the errmsg
buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end tell
end if
end try
-- end script
