Copying folders, and files


  • Subject: Copying folders, and files
  • From: "AppleScript" <email@hidden>
  • Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 15:14:16 -0700

I've written an AppleScript to copy the files from an entire partition
into a folder on an attached Firewire drive.

The scripting is correct, and it works, except that I get an "AppleEvent
Timed Out" error, thus presenting a dialog box.

I would like the script to run unattended, but I can't seem to get around
this.

My script looks something like:

tell the application "Finder"
activate
select disk "disk 1"
copy selection to folder "backup" of disk "backup disk"
end tell

The disks I'm copying range in from 103 MB (3000+ files) to 2.1 GB
(78,000+ files)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Todd
