  I want to set up a hot folder to automatically upload my files to FTP sites with Fetch. It is not working and I think the reason is the passwords on the FTP sites. Can you help.
  Here is the script:
  property DestinationURL : "ftp://rt_waxahachie@ftp.metro-pi.com/files/rt_waxahachie/"

  on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
  tell application "Fetch"
  with timeout of 36000 seconds
  put into url DestinationURL item added_items
  end timeout
  end tell
  end adding folder items to

  Hi,

  Your script looks correct.

  If the problem is Fetch is waiting for a password, you should add the password to your keychain - then Fetch will get the password out of your keychain automatically without prompting for it. The keychain is part of Mac OS X that provides a secure, central storage place for passwords.

  To add the password to the keychain:

  * Run Fetch.
  * In the New Connection dialog, enter the same hostname, username, and path you're using in this AppleScript.
  * Enter the password in the Password field
  * Check the "Add to keychain" checkbox.
  * Click Connect.
  * Once the connection has opened successfully, your password has been added to the keychain.

  Then try your hot folder again. If this does not work, let us know.

  Thanks,
