Fetch with keychain and Fetch Alias (3 posts)

    Hello!

    I've successfully integrated my mac's keychain with Fetch when I run a command such as:

    set tWindow to make new transfer window at beginning with properties {hostname:the_host, username:loginName, initial folder:"/public_html/"}

    so that I don't have to have my password in plaintext. However, when I try it using:

    fetch alias "Users:me:Downloads:" host the_host user loginName path my_path

    it will only work if I include my password in plaintext. Is there anyway around this or does the keychain only work in conjunction with the set tWindow command?

    Thanks so much,

    Eric

    Hi,

    I would try using a URL instead of separate host/user/path parameters, e.g.:

    set myurl to "ftp://" & loginName & ":@" & the_host & "/" & my_path
    fetch alias "Users:me:Downloads:" url myurl

    Does that work?

    Thanks,
