Dan,
Among all the other options you have available, here’s an up-to-date version of my earlier suggestion, just in case you might find it useful. I've upgraded to the latest version of the Net-SFTP rubygem (v2.0.1) and done some testing. The code below uses SFTP to upload a file to a remote location:
set localSource to "/Users/stanc/Desktop/testfile.pdf"
set remoteTarget to "/Dir1/Dir2/testfile.pdf"
try
set scriptResult to do shell script ("ruby -rubygems -e \"require 'net/sftp' ; " & ¬
"Net::SFTP.start('192.168.191.5', 'userid', :password => 'blahblah') do |sftp| ; " & ¬
"sftp.upload!(" & quoted form of localSource & ", " & quoted form of remoteTarget & "); end\"")
return "" -- file upload succeeded
on error errText number errNum
return errText -- file upload failed
end try
Try as I might, I couldn’t get Mark’s suggestion to work, which is to specify both dependencies (rubygems and net/sftp) as –r command options. So the net/sftp dependency was done as a "require" within the command text. Oh well.
Stan C.
