I need to FTP some files to a remote directory on an automated basis.
I would like to use applescript to invoke the necessary commands
via the terminal to perform this but really don't know where to begin.
I read I could use a "shell" script to perform what I want to do,
but do not know the syntax as it would appear in applescript.
You should probably use 'curl' for this purpose. In case you need to
know any fancy options, get its manual into human-readable format by
typing this in Terminal:
man -t curl > ~/Desktop/curl.ps
Now open up the curl.ps file and save it as a PDF.
For the AppleScript portion the call will look something like:
do shell script "cd ~/Desktop;curl -u user:password -T
'{blob.xml,some.txt}' ftp://ftp.some.site.com";
Here the target files are located on my desktop so I 'cd' there first
and then upload them.
