do shell script "cp " & quoted form of POSIX path of fileToCopy & space & quoted form of POSIX path of iDiskFolder
This will be much faster than using the Finder.

Subject: Duplicate to iDisk
I have a script that 'duplicates' files from one location to another. For no good reason, I wondered if I could duplicate into a location on my iDisk. Did it work? Well, sort of ...
1. The Finder showed me a progress window as it copied each file, but it was sooooo slooooooooooooooow.
2. My script timed out while waiting.
3. The Finder locked up. Unable to relaunch. Had to do a hardware restart.
4. I looked in the destination folder on my iDisk ... empty!
5. I tried to eject my iDisk, it simply will not eject.
6. Had to do another hardware restart.
OK, so it does NOT work.
Is this typical iDisk behavior? or
Do I need to use another technique?
