  I am new to AppleScripting.
  I am looking to create a script that uploads every file of a folder. Here is what I have tried:
  tell application "Fetch 4.0.2"
  activate
  geturl "ftp://xxxxx:yyyyyy@ftp.xxx.com"
  get {every file of the folder, "Macintosh HD:Users:timothyt:Desktop:test2:"}
  copy selection to transfer window "ftp.xxx.com"
  end tell
  When I run this, I get an invalid key form error.
  What should I change?

  Thanks

  This should work:

  tell application "Finder"
  set fileList to every file of folder "Macintosh HD:Users:timothyt :Desktop:test2:"
  end tell

  tell application "Fetch 4.0.3"
  repeat with oneFile in fileList
  put into url "ftp://userid :password@hostname/path/" item (oneFile as alias)
  end repeat
  end tell

  The "oneFile as alias" part is needed because the Finder will give back a list of file references, while Fetch wants to deal with aliases.

  Thanks,
