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,
