Hi will this export as an application for another computer ( without the plugin?) or is the plugin required?

Hi people, sorry for the long reply wait time, I don’t get notified when people post here.

On the subject of SFTP/SCP, check out the “Upload with SCP” action. It’s out there.

The 255 error, can’t say I’ve seen it before. Not sure, it might be a problem specific to your server type. It’s hard for me to test this.

Terry: you can send emails with the “New Mail Message” action. It comes standard in OS X 10.5+.

Paul DuV: sorry, I’m not sure how to pass iTunes songs to Automator, sorry. It might be possible to get the file path out of iTunes with Automator with some actions. It’d require some detective work.

Cheers! Peter

Will there be a version supporting SFTP in the future or is this automator action “dead”?

This is a great automator app, but I wonder why ftp is not built into the finder suite of automator in Tiger and Leopard.

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.
