You don't state if you need an OS X and Windows solution, but if you
select a folder and then run the following applescript you will get
the path (in this case it is copied to the clipboard). Hope it helps
you somehow.
tell application "Finder"
copy selection to theSelected
set outputPathList to {}
repeat with anItem in theSelected
copy (POSIX path of (anItem as alias)) to end of outputPathList
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
set outputString to outputPathList as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set the clipboard to outputString
end tell
Thanks Sims, nice script, I had a simpler version.
tell application "Finder"
get selection
set curr_sel to result as alias
set posix_path to (POSIX path of (curr_sel) as string)
set the clipboard to posix_path
end tell
but they both work only if folder is preselected. And yes, I need a
windows solution as well

When drag-dropping from one app to another, the first app does not
have a way of 'knowing' what object the second app has used to accept
the drop (if it accepted the drop at all). This is true for any of
the drag-and-drop between programs that I have experienced in the
past. The operating system does not know anything about the second
app object definitions or drop areas. The same thing is true of using
a clipboard to move data. The first app knows nothing about the paste
operation in the second app.
And yet, all FTP clients on Mac ("Transmit" for example) somehow
manage to support drag and drop download to arbitrary folder.
I suspect windows FTP clients can do drag / drop downloads to any
folder of user choice as well. On Mac I would probably solve it
eventually through AppleScript or Shell but I have not clue how to do
this on windows.
Thanks for ideas and tips, for small group of users or internal use
that would be great solution, but I need HIG compliant, "standard
way" of doing this.
I hoped that at least dragData would be able to resolve remote paths
with something like..
set the allowableDragActions to "link"
Put " ftp://user:[email protected]:21//Videos/MyVideo"; into
tRemoteFilePath
set the dragData["file"] to tRemoteFilePath
but that doesn't seems to be a case
best regards
