Please forgive my novice AppleScript status, however when I ran this script
- I get the error: " Finder got an error - ditto: /myDisk/ aTest.zip: no
such file or directory"


Q:  what did I do wrong - how can I fix this?


tell application "Finder"
set fold to (characters 1 thru -2 of (POSIX path of ("/myDisk/ aTest/")))
as text
do shell script "ditto -ck " & quoted form of fold & space & quoted form
of (fold & ".zip")
end tell

Change "myDisk" to the name of your hard disk. Change "aTest/" to the name of the folder you want to compress.

I can't say I've never been wrong. Well, I can say it, but I'd be wrong.
