Anyone ever came across the following and found a solution?:
The following statement works if the both the source and destination
system are OS9 and if both are OSX:
tell app "Finder to duplicate file afile to folder (folder path to an
OSX server) with replace
but NOT if source system is OS 9 and destination is X. It will pop up
a dialog saying that "the item "afile" cannot be written, because an
item with that name already exists." When I make the script try to
delete it first, you get the message: "You cannot move "afile" to the
"Trash", Cannot move an item to the trash because it must be delted
immediately and scripts may not delete items without confirmation."
I have validated that the user has proper read and write authorizations
on the X server, so that is not the issue.
I am clueless as to working around that (other than migrating the
source system to X!)
