  I can not seem to get the mirror command to work with the following applescript:

  set DestURL1 to "ftp://name:password@www.x.y.z/testftp"
  set DestURL2 to "ftp://name:password@www.x.y.z/testftp/"
  set src to "localdrive:folder:"

  --try
  startMirror(src, DestURL1)
  startMirror(src, DestURL2)
  --on error
  -- display dialog "There was a problem." & src & DestURL1 & DestURL2 buttons "Rats!" default button 1
  --end try

  on startMirror(src, destURL)
  if destURL * "" then
  with timeout of 60000 seconds
  tell application "Fetch 4.0"
  -- send files to LRCWebstar
  --try
  mirror src to destURL
  --on error
  -- display dialog "There was an error mirroring to " & destURL & "." buttons "Rats!" default button 1
  --end try

  -- quit
  end tell
  end timeout
  end if
  end startMirror

  I keep getting the error "Fetch 4.0 got an error. Expected a reference"

  Any ideas?

  I would try changing this line:

  set src to "localdrive:folder:"

  to this:

  set src to alias "localdrive:folder:"

  Does that help?

  Actually you also want to change:

  mirror src to destURL

  to:

  mirror src to url destURL

  Thanks.

  Worked like a champ.

  Believe it or not, I had tried both of those options, but I guess not at the same time.
