Is there a path anywhere on OSX that is always the same on every OSX
machine?


I need to pick up a file that has been exported from FileMaker and move it
with an applescript. Since this file will be distributed over many OSX
machines with different users etc., I need a location I can rely on always
being there.

tell application "Finder" to set the destination to home

This will return the home folder of the user. If the same file will suffice for all the users on the computer, this is probably not the best one to use, but if each user needs a personal copy of the file, this would probably do it for you.
