Charlie,
Just to be on the safe side, you might want to set up test source and
target folders as you're developing and testing the AppleScript, in
addition to setting the dryrun option to TRUE.
In the script editor, try the following (assuming you are NOT using
the SFTP protocol for transfer):
set theSourceFolder to (choose folder)
tell application "Interarchy"
set resultNumber to mirrorupload theSourceFolder host
"ftp.myplace.com" path "/home/myname/folder1/folder2/folder3/" user
"myname" password "fakepassword" with dryrun
end tell
Lee.

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
