set newfile to "/Volumes/FIS/Customer/CLIENTNAME/2015_Ads/Test/" & newFileName & ".eps"
set download_path to "ftp://" & ftpUserName & ":" & ftpPassword & "@" & ftpHost & "//" & "o7/" & ftpSubDirectory & "/" & ftpSourceDirectory & "/" & originalFileName & ".eps"
do shell script "curl -o " & quoted form of newfile & " " & quoted form of download_path
and the file downloads fine.
Attempting to access it as an alias the fails though, and trying to get the script to wait for the file to appear using:
tell application "Finder"
activate
repeat while not (exists POSIX file newfile)
delay 0.5
end repeat
end tell
results in an endless repeating of:
exists POSIX file "/Volumes/FIS/Customer/CLIENTNAME/2015_Ads/Test/BT150453.eps"
--> false
exists POSIX file "/Volumes/FIS/Customer/CLIENTNAME/2015_Ads/Test/BT150453.eps"
--> false
Even though I can see the file in Finder.
How does one get Applescript to:
- wait for a file to be downloaded completely
- act on the file once it is present (I need to copy it to a folder, then re-upload it under a new name)

Hello
I’m not sure that it’s the real problem but using POSIX file newfile in a tell application "Finder" block is not a good idea because the function belongs to an OSAX : Standard Additions.
It would be better to use :
tell application "Finder" activate repeat tell me to POSIX file newfile if not (exists result) then exit repeat delay 0.5 end repeat end tell
I’m not accustomed to download files thru curl but I'm surprised to see that you insert a colon (:) in download_path.
