If you have Stuffit Deluxe 8 or 9, it included a program called Stuffit Express PE. It's actually somewhat like what Apple is going to be giving us in Automater in Tiger. It has a push-button interface that lets you create all sorts of file-handling actions. Not only will it archive files, but copy, move, ftp, sftp, send emails (that you can edit) and lots of other things too.
It's a wonderful utility and I use it at work a lot. I have a droplet that takes a folder of files and copies them to a public folder on remote server, then it sends an email to two people to notify them the files are in place, and then archives the file and places the archive in a separate folder. It copies the whole process to a template that I can edit later and then it makes a droplet wherever I want. I have a folder on my Dock that holds all my droplets. And I just pop it open and drop it on whichever droplet I want and the file is moved, copied, email sent and then it's archived and placed in a storage folder. At home I have a droplet on my desktop. If I want to send a file to work, I just drag it on the droplet. It archives the file and logs into our secure FTP site and sends the file. It's relatively secure because once a droplet is created you can't reopen it (thus the reason to keep templates of what you did, so you can redo it or change it). Stuffit Deluxe is a bit spendy, but there are often good deals where you can get it for less. on 12/11/04 4:22 AM, Scott Haneda at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have been exploring the "droplets" for sending attached files to specific > people.
