  It would be nice if there was an option, at least when using a droplet, to have Fetch quit after the upload is complete.

  Thanks for that suggestion. If you like you can make your own droplet that will quit Fetch after uploading. For a starting point, download the Fetch Example Scripts from http://fetchsoftworks.com/downloads.html and take a look at the DropUpload example. You could add a "quit" command to have it quit Fetch after uploading.

  Please let me know if that does not work for you.

  Thanks,

  I tried to do it by inserting an sftp address into the sample script and am getting an error.

  'Can't get class cFHD"

  Here is the script:

  property gDesturl : ""

  on specify_destination()
  set default_url to "<sftp://jehrler:@123.123.123.123:1234/Documents/Program%20Storage/>"

  set dialog_reply to display dialog "Enter the destination URL for uploads in this format:" & return & return & " <ftp://user:@host/path/>" & return & return & "[Use the Copy URL command in Fetch to copy the current URL]" default answer default_url
  if button returned of dialog_reply = "OK" then
  set gDesturl to text returned of dialog_reply
  end if
  end specify_destination

  on open doc
  if gDesturl = "" then
  specify_destination()
  end if
  if gDesturl ≠ "" then
  with timeout of 60000 seconds
  tell application "Fetch"
  put into «class cFHD» gDesturl item doc
  quit
  end tell
  end timeout
  end if
  end open

  specify_destination()

  I would make sure that Fetch is running when you launch Script Editor, so Script Editor can find Fetch's scripting dictionary. If you still see the error, replace the «class cFHD» with url, i.e.:

  put into url gDesturl item doc

  Thanks,

  Keeping Fetch open didn't seem to help so...

  I just went with a simple script adding your last hint and it works great.

  Thanks.

  on open doc
  tell application "Fetch"
  put into url "sftp://jehrler:@123.123.123.123:1234/Documents/Program%20Storage/" item doc
  quit
  end tell
  end open

  I'm glad that worked -- thanks for posting the script.
