At 03:20p -0400 10/03/2003, mathew didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:
i'm attempting to learn applescript these days and have found out that
the terminal is scriptable. because of this, i'm trying to write a script that
allows me me access a web directory (my own) via the terminal's ftp command.
i'd like the script to put in the username and password itself and just
connect automatically.
can applescript do this?
my code (so far..)
tell application "System Events"
if (get name of every process) does not contain "Terminal" then
tell application "Terminal"
activate
end tell
end if
tell application "Terminal"
do script "ftp " & " open http://url.url.com";
end tell
end tell
ideas? thanks in advance.
Well, AppleScript can, but the built-in 'ftp' command is not up to snuff.
You can use 'curl' (comes with os x) or 'ncftp' (use fink to install).
Either of those commands will take URLs with passwords.
HTH,
