Robert,

I'm not at a machine where I can try this, but I suspect that the issue is that there is some lag between when connect to server completes and when the volume had actually completed mounting. You could get around that by inserting a pause action and waiting a few seconds, or a Run AppleScript action with a loop that checks for the presence of the volume every second and returns once the volume is present.

That's based on a guess. If it doesn't work, could you tell us exactly what error the Copy Finder Items action is generating (you'll see the error if you open the workflow log)?

I am trying to create an automator workflow that will copy items on my laptop to a server.
I can connect and copy files to the server manually with no problems.


My workflow is:

1) get specified servers
2) connect to server
3) get finder items
4) copy finder items

I cannot get this to work. It will automatically mount the server but breaks when it tries to copy.

I can separate the above into TWO workflows consisting of steps 1 and 2 for the workflow "connect to server"
and 3 and 4 for the workflow "copy from laptop" and they work just fine.


But when I combine them together in one workflow it does not work..

Any suggestions?
