For a few frustrating days I have been banging away at what I thought would
be a a rather simple exercise. I have searched all 123 email references
within the list on the Apple site & problem is common, but there does not
seem to be an definitive answer. to The non-functioning script is:
set upLoadItem to "ftp://username:email@hidden/myfile.txt";
set toFolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:dmm:Desktop:TestFolder:myfile.txt"
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download upLoadItem to toFolder replacing yes with progress
end tell
tell application "URL Access Scripting" to quit
The dictionary gives tha answer quite clearly:
download : Downloads a specified URL to a specified file
download string -- URL to download from
to file specification -- the downloaded file location
set f to "
http://www.google.co.uk/index.html";
set flocal to "" & (path to desktop) & "INDEX.HTML" as file specification
tell application "URL Access Scripting" to download f to flocal
--> file "dx:Users:jd:Desktop:INDEX.HTML"
You are trying to download to a _string_, which is meaningless.
