TLS / SSL Authentication from a script (3 posts)

  Jim,

  I currently send to a lot of sites using Fetch. One of the sites I send to has changed their site to require TSL/SSL authentication to gain access. How do I do this in the script?

  Currently, I build a link like this and log on:

  set FTP_Site to FTPMethod & "://" & MyID & ":" & PassWrd & "@" & HostAddr
  tell application "Fetch"
  set tw to make new transfer window at beginning with properties {url:FTP_Site}
  tell tw to set ConnectionStatus to status
  ...

  where:
  FTPMethod = "ftp" or "sftp"
  MyID = User ID of the site
  PassWrd = site password
  HostAddr = FTP address

  How do I go about changing the authentication to TSL/SSL?
  Do I put in a command right after the make new transfer window command like this

  set tw's authentication to TSL

  or do I replace the "FTP://" with "TSL://" in the initial set FTP_Site command? Is that even valid?

  I tried this:

  set tw to make new transfer window at beginning with properties {url:FTP_Site, authentication:TLS}

  and it is failing.

  Hi,

  I would try clicking the Record button in Script Editor and connecting manually. What script command does it produce?

  Thanks,
