The path you have there is already a (sort of) POSIX path, Dave. However, if "MacHD" is the name of your startup disk, that shouldn't be included.


If you're going to use a ready-made POSIX path, run the one-line script below, choose the required folder - and paste the result into your script:

-----------------
set the clipboard to "\"" & text 1 thru -2 of POSIX path of (choose folder) & "\""
-----------------


Your script should then end up looking something like this:

-----------------
set fold to "/aTest"
do shell script "ditto -ck " & quoted form of fold & space & quoted form of (fold & ".zip")
-----------------
