I keep getting the same error 255 message that other people have mentioned. My other FTP programs connect fine with the exact same settings. Does anyone know what this error means? If this problem was fixed it would be a great action!

Any idea on the 255 error? I am getting it every time I run the script… I tried uploading using other FTp programs with same settings and they worked just fine…but obviously I want the Automator workflow to work.
Thanks in advance!

@mptre et al This action is great, however if you have problems getting it to upload then check the “Force PASV” option. It takes care of firewall problems (at least, it did for me).
This is a great tool and I’m definitely putting it into future scripts.

had a little struggle with my firewall getting started, but once I got out of my own way, it worked great. thanks!

Very cool. Would love to see the option to have a email generated stating that the following files have been uploaded to this ftp site. As a confirmation.
