  Hi,

  I'm trying to use AppleScript to clean the server. I wish to empty the folder I'm working with.

  If I use this script to download every file it works:

  set thereFolder to alias "MacSSD:Users:user:Desktop:here:"
  tell application "Fetch"
  activate
  set tWindow to make new transfer window at beginning with properties {hostname:"ftp.server.com", username:"user", password:"1234", initial folder:"ftp.server.com/ftp/fetch/"}
  tell tWindow
  download every remote item to thereFolder
  close
  end tell

  end tell

  When I try something like this instead I get errors:

  set thereFolder to alias "MacSSD:Users:user:Desktop:here:"
  tell application "Fetch"
  activate
  set tWindow to make new transfer window at beginning with properties {hostname:"ftp.server.com", username:"user", password:"1234", initial folder:"ftp.server.com/ftp/fetch/"}
  tell tWindow
  remove every remote item of transfer window "tWindow"
  close
  end tell

  end tell

  Error says: Some parameters are missing for Remove, error -1701.

  Thank You for any help

  Hi,

  Does it work if you remove "of transfer window "tWindow"" from "remove every remote item of transfer window "tWindow"" ? I don't think you need it, since you are in a tell tWindow block.

  Thanks,
