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.

I'm using (PHP's) copy now but it's not working properly (it's a long
story). I create the directories and then move all the files but for
whatever reason, they get hosed in the process. (They're actually php
files I'm duplicating and some of the HTML breaks). If I do a straight
copy in the Finder it works perfectly but using mkdir and copy doesn't :(
This sounds like permissions might be the cause, the web server will be
performing operations as the user it is running as (apache or nobody), not
as you :) so you'll need to either add apache to a group or make the
directory writeable by it... either that and/or PHP is configured to run
in safe mode where you can't use exec().
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!

Sounds a bit complex for what I need. I took a look at exec and the
possibility of using shell scripts but if I can find how to pass a
simple variable from a URL to an Applescript I'll have it solved in 30
seconds flat.
I was intrigued to know if you could have applescripts as cgi scripts..
sounds handy, have you seen these pages? Seems it can be done quite easily.
