Put or get file from AS

Again, thanks to this listserv I was able to get ths script to work.

tell application "Finder"
mount volume "afp://user:email@hidden/NDATL"
end tell

In elementary schools with students in lower grades, this will be very useful for students getting into our file server to save files and run software. We even got it to mount a CD-ROM tower with 20 CDs in it, something that was beyond most primary students due to the number of steps involved using the chooser.

How can this script be modified to

a) allow a student to drop a file on the script and have it moved to the shared folder on the server? (We don't support FTP on these machines, so Fetch won't work for this.)

b) allow us to move a specific file from the shared volume (such as "quiz" or an "daily.html") to the computer that is running the script?

What I would like to do with this is copy the attendance info down to my computer from several different schools.

Which raises a third question - since the file name would be the same at each school, how can it be modified from the name on the server "attendance" to a different name on my desktop "attendance001"?
