Fetch Softworks

AppleScript Fetch handler trying too many times (3 posts)

  I have a script that backs up a database (Helix) runs it thru tests, copies it here and there, zips it and sends the zipped file to an ftp server. It's very reliable.
  Except that sometimes it does it numerous times. There are 6 or 7 copies of the database at the remote site.

  with timeout of 7200 seconds
  tell application "Fetch"
  activate
  open remote folder fetchRemotefolder
  set theResult to put into transfer window fetchTransferWindow item theFileToSend with uniquename
  end tell
  end timeout
  tell application "Fetch" to quit

  What am I doing wrong?

  Thanks.

  Hi,

  I would take out the words "with uniquename"; does that help?

  Thanks,

  It might. In earlier testing, I had only the date attached to the file so it just overwrote things, but now the time is there as well..

  Thanks.
