Hi ...
Any opinions re which is better for scripting a fair amount of FTP
uploading and downloading? I use Interarchy (3.8, since it's
indistinguishable from 4) at present and have scripted various droplets and
applets to upload and to rename sets of files.
I would like to be able to do better error trapping - eg not trying to
rename files that aren't there. However, extracting the filenames that are
there using Interarchy involves chomping through the transcript; I'd rather
spend the time writing content and doing updates to the site than
script-wrangling.
I notice that Fetch 4 also "includes" the Anarchie suite, so does that mean
that using it (if it has advantages) would simply involve changing
"Interarchy" to "Fetch" in my app/droplets?
Religious wars unnecessary as I don't think I'm going to be using it to the
extent of.. some of the folk here. I just want to ul/dl fairly small
(5-10K) files, do some work, send them up. As I say, it's the
error-trapping that would be good.
And does Fetch's one-ness across OS7->X give it an advantage over
Interarchy, which seems to have 2 versions - one for pre-X, another post?
