The standard addition "open location" does not appear to be working
nicely for me. Perhaps someone can explain what I'm doing wrong:
1. The following script doesn't generate an error:
open location "x" with error reporting
2. More to the point, the following script doesn't do anything either
(this is a real ftp site that I can access with "Fetch"):
open location "
ftp://ftp.tiaonline.org/"; with error reporting
(actually, this did work for me once ... and then refused to again,
even after a reboot. It also appears that the site may have been
partially mounted, as there is an entry in /Volumes called
"ftp.tiaonline.org" which wasn't there before. However an 'ls'
command shows an empty directory, unlike ftp.apple.com).
3. Yet, apple's own ftp site works fine:
open location "
ftp://ftp.apple.com/"; with error reporting
This command mounts a pseudo-disk called "ftp.apple.com" on my
desktop, which I can then access as part of my filesystem. Very nice.
There's probably something obvious that I'm doing wrong (there
already is), so maybe someone could point this out.
Or maybe there's a better, more robust way to do this (it would be
nice to avoid using an ftp client, but I certainly can if that's a
better approach).
