I'm trying to use curl in a do shell script. I need to use quotes
around some of the parameters, but this is getting interpreted as the
end quote for the do shell script part:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
	set cell "gResult" of current record to (do shell script "curl
ftp://ipaddress/index.html -# -t "Local Drive:index.html" -u
"username:password"")
end tell

I run into the same problem if I try to set a variable:

set ScriptToRun to "curl ftp://ipaddress/index.html -# -t "Local
Drive:index.html" -u "username:password""

How do you set something to include a quote as text, instead of it
demarking the text of what you want set?
