Charlie,
I'm an experienced AppleScript developer, and I've created SFTP-
related code for clients using YummyFTP. However, I have not had any
hands-on experience with Interarchy.
With that preface, I took a closer look at the Interarchy AppleScript
dictionary; the following command is what you will need:
mirrorupload
mirrorupload (verb) mirror a local folder to an FTP site, destroying
all remote contents. (from Interarchy Suite)
function syntax
set theResult to mirrorupload (alias) ¬
host (unicode text) ¬
path (unicode text) ¬
user (unicode text) ¬
password (unicode text) ¬
url (unicode text) ¬
sftp (boolean) ¬
protocol (Prot) ¬
dryrun (boolean)
result
integer: Error code
In addition, I did a Google search on the "dryrun" parameter for the
command and found the following from a MacWorld review:
"One of the potential dangers of mirroring folders between your Mac
and a remote server is the possibility of unintentionally deleting
important files. Interarchy’s new Mirror Dry Run function gives you
the opportunity to test a mirror without making any changes to the
files on your FTP server or your hard drive, lessening the likelihood
that you’ll accidentally destroy important data. It’s a welcome
addition to the program."
So, it looks like you should be able to test your scripts with the
"dryrun" option enabled to make sure things are working correctly
before going live with the final script.
Lee.

Lee,
I've used a bit of appleScript, mostly with the help of others. I've
looked at the Interarchy appleScript dictionary, but with something as
potential dangerous as doing a mirror upload, I want to be sure I
understand what I am doing before I do something stupid.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Charles,
A quick look at the Interarchy AppleScript dictionary suggests that
you
should be able to do the mirror upload from within FileMaker using
AppleScript. Your AppleScript should be able to check if Interarchy
is
already running, launching it if necessary before doing the upload.
Are you
familiar with AppleScript at all?
Lee.

I have a mirror upload established in Interarchy, and I need to
activate it from within a FileMaker Pro script, presumably by using
appleScript, but have no clue on how to do it. It is likely that
Interarchy would not be open when this happens. Any ideas?
