Lee, (and anyone else who wants to jump in here)

I appreciate your help, but I'm still confused. To repeat what you
indicated earlier, the Interarchy dictionary gives this information
for mirrorupload:

mirrorupload v : mirror a local folder to an FTP site, destroying all
remote contents.
mirrorupload [alias] : Folder to mirror from
[host text] : ftp server (defaults to this mac)
[path text] : path to remote folder
[user text] : user name (defaults to “anonymous”)
[password text] : user password (defaults to your Email address)
[url text] : URL to remote folder
[sftp boolean] : use sftp
[protocol 
FTPProtocol/SFTPProtocol/FileProtocol/HTTPProtocol/HTTPSProtocol/WebDAVProtocol/WebDAVSProtocol/AmazonS3Protocol/AmazonS3SProtocol/SSHProtocol/SCPProtocol]
: protocol to use
[dryrun boolean] : execute mirror in dry run simulation mode
→ integer : Error code

Now, when I do a manual mirror upload Interarchy asks for the
following for which I have given fake info to use for our purposes:

Server: ftp.myplace.com
Path: /home/myname/folder1/folder2/folder3/
Username: myname
Password: fakepassword
Local: "Macintosh HD:Users:myname:Desktop:folder1:folder2"
dryrun: yes

I just don't understand how to write the script to do this. I tried a
couple of things, but the script editor quickly told me I didn't know
what I was doing. Can someone help an old dog learn a new trick?

Thanks,
Charlie
