Where I say URL in this document, I mean either a proper URL like Òftp://user:password@host/pathÓ (user:password@ is optional) or a simple one like: Òhost:pathÓ or an Info-Mac Òarchived asÓ line like Ò[Archive as /info-mac/util/dehqx.hqx; 30k]Ó or a UMich line like Ò/mac/util/dehqx.hqxÓ
Download Files - Takes a file with a list of URLs and downloads them, deleteing any lines that successfully download. This is designed for use with Cron. When you read the UMich New Files mailout or the Info-Mac digest, copy any interesting references into the file and then when the run Download Files (perhaps overnight using Cron) to fetch them. Note that some version of AppleScript had a badly broken Read/Write Commands osax which crashes under PowerPC - I recommend using this only with System 7.5.
Fetch Clipboard, List Clipboard - Copy a URL to the clipboard and invoke this script to download it or list the directory.
Find Clipboard - Copy part of a file name to the clipboard and invoke this script to find it using an Archie search.
MacSearch - Copy part of a file name to the clipboard and invoke this script to find it using MacSearch, a new search engine hosted by Ambrosia that searches for files in the UMich and Info-Mac sites.
Get Selection - Just a simple script to demonstarate the "get contents of selection" AppleScript command.
DropPut Example 1 - A droplet which you can drop files to automatically upload
them to a specified destination
DropPut Example 2 - A droplet which you can drop files to automatically upload
them to a specified destination. This version prompts the user to enter a password.
Misc Stuff - Example showing mkdir, rename, remove, sendcommand as well as trivial examples of FTP mirroring, web (HTTP) downloading, including web site downloading.
Òthe clipboardÓ is used in some scripts and is implemented in JonÕs Commands Scripting Extension available from the usual places (check out the AppleScript FTP bookmark).
