Function: Uploads files or folders to an FTP server.
Author: Peter Dekkers
Input: (Text) Files/folders or absolute paths to files as plain text arguments.
Output: (Text) Filenames of the uploaded files, prefixed by the entered Base URL.
Notes: New in this version: support for proxy servers and forced passive transfers. Warning: This action overwrites remote files without prompting. Includes three sample workflows.
Updates:
v1.4
- Fixed a bug with some servers with line endings being appended to filenames
Thanks Marcel Rivard!
v1.3 (skipped a version there, not sure why…)
- Fixed a recursion bug - Many thanks to Tom Davies!

To the developer: the action’s Version field still reads 1.1 when viewed in the Finder. Minor quirk, really.

So I played around a little bit until I discovered this extremely cool Automator action called Upload To FTP - it’s fantastic, I made a little applet which will upload to my blog whenever I save something to my blogging folder on my machine - in practice that means, I find the picture I want to show you, do a little photoshop work to it as needed, hit one key, and boom it’s on my server!
