You're right, I posted a previous version of the script, instead of the current one. Here's the current one (which give an "extension failure" message:
set myFile to choose file with prompt "Select file to upload"
set myURL to "ftp://upload.comcast.net/"
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
upload myFile to myURL replacing yes with authentication and progress
end tell
display dialog "Done uploading " & name of myFile

Unsolicited advice: do not use URL Access Scripting. Use "curl"
instead, it's way more reliable. I use the following form to display
the stats, but you can chop out the end of the command.

do shell script "curl -T " & theXPath & " " & theRemotePath & " -w
'%{size_upload} bytes at %{speed_upload} bytes/s'"

theXPath is the [quoted form of the] posix path of the file to upload.
theRemotePath is your ftp://username:email@hidden/path/to/file
The directory must exist.
Thanks, I've been told similar. I'll try this if it appears that URL Access doesn't work. But I can't help thinking that URL Access would not exist if it did not work at all. In other words, there has to be some combination of circumstances, keywords, or voodoo that make it work, or it wouldn't exist.

Or am I being an idealistic fool?
