toHarddrive
Oops, yes sorry.
I'd posted a copy script there before, but obviously not put it in
the FAQ, here you go:
--set the name of the file to copy
property fileName : "my file.doc"
--get the path to the containing folder
set myPath to (path to me as string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
set the parentFolder to ¬
((text items 1 thru -2 of myPath) & "") as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
-- find the flash file
try
set targetFile to alias (the parentFolder & fileName)
on error
--ie if there's no file here by this name, it will quit.
return quit
end try
tell application "Finder"
move file targetFile to desktop
--If it's a read only volume (like a cd), move will actually copy
end tell
