this_item is a string the way you have defined it.
URL Access says it requires a fileSpec and not an alias or pathname as string.
putting the reserved word "file" in front of a string which is a fully qualified pathname magically converts a string to something that URL Access can understand though I have never been able to find documentation that says so. It is not a standard coercion documented in the Language Guide. The reserved word alias doesn't work that way. Well I guess I don't know that because URL Access will choke on an alias anyway.
upload file this_item to fullURL replacing yes with progress
would make sense. But you do have a disk named Saves don't you? If Saves is a directory your path may not be sufficient.
Uploads usually require a username and password. Old fashioned ftp sites - before security problems - would accept a URL like yours but newer stuff may balk about passwords sent in the clear. There is a with authorization option in URL Access that you may need.
