Transferring Files With the URL Access Manager

Using the URL Access Manager with AppleScript

You can use AppleScript to call URL Access Manager functions.

If your AppleScript application uses the URL Access Manager for operations that may take a substantial amount of time, such as transferring large amounts of data over a low-speed connection, be sure to set the timeout to large value. Setting the timeout to a large value , such as 60,000 seconds, will avoid unnecessary AppleEvent errors.

For information about the standard scripting addition commands distributed with AppleScript, see the AppleScript section of the Mac OS Help Center, or visit the following web site: http://www.apple.com/applescript/
