Hello,

I try to copy a few files into /private/var, I wonder how to use
applescript to check/enable root, and copy the files without letting
user open a terminal window.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.


If I did not use Files.osax, I would try use the shell:

do shell script "cp src dst" with administrator privileges

(I'm not sure about the "cp" part)

Emmanuel
