Hi Kim,

Sorry, can't help with the Applescript as cgi script, but as for PHP..

You should be able to make a directory (named whatever), and recursively copy files from the directory you want copied, to the new one. See PHP's copy function http://au3.php.net/copy , otherwise you can use PHP's 'exec' function as well and do 'mkdir' & 'cp' commands. Of course, you will need to have permissions for all of this too.

Otherwise, can your application talk FTP, SSH or even telnet? Otherwise another suggestion.. write your own service in RB that listens on a different port to the web webservice - modify the "write your own webserver" RB example http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/11/19/realbasic.html?page=1) and then you can use RB methods! of course you may want to add some security to it too.

regards

Mark

All,

apologies for the OT post but I have a RB application which needs to talk to a web server. I need the web server to duplicate a folder and rename it based on a variable I pass from RB. I've tried doing this with PHP but there's some issues I haven't been able to overcome (the lack of a duplicate command doesn't help)

Does anyone know how to setup an Applescript as a cgi script and then receive a variable from RB? I definitely want to use a web based script as I don't want the application to have direct access to the directory I'm working in.


cheers and thanks

kim
