I am creating a watched folder script that uploads files to a FTP directory.
The problem I am having is once a file hits the folder, it uploads, while
doing so other files are added into the folder. The problem is it starts
over and re-uploads the same files over and over until no other files have
landed in the watched folder. Any ideas?
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
with timeout of 300 seconds
set myUser to "xxxx"
set myPassword to "xxxx"
set myHost to "xxxx"
set myDirectory to "/home/xxx/"
set myurl to "
ftp://"; & myUser & ":" & myPassword & "@" & myHost &
"/" & myDirectory
set myFolder to "Mac15:Users:chadlindsey_epp3:Desktop:Pitstop
Server:Processed Docs on Success:"
tell application "Fetch 4.0.3"
with timeout of 300 seconds
open url myurl
end timeout
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set myFolderItems to list folder alias ,
myFolder without invisibles
repeat with myitem in myFolderItems
try
tell application "Fetch 4.0.3" to set ,
myRemoteDate to modification date of remote item
myitem
set myExistFlag to true
on error
set myExistFlag to false
end try
if kind of alias (myFolder & myitem) is not ,
"folder" then
if myExistFlag then
tell application "Finder" to set myLocalDate ,
to modification date of alias (sourceFolder ,
& myitem)
set myUploadFlag to (myRemoteDate < myLocalDate)
else
set myUploadFlag to true
end if
if myUploadFlag then
with timeout of 300 seconds
tell application "Fetch 4.0.3" to put into
transfer window 1 item alias ,
(myFolder & myitem)
end timeout
end if
end if
end repeat
--end repeat
end tell
end timeout
end adding folder items to
Thanks, Chad
