Hi!
After I saw the recent request regarding auto-ftp scripting I decided to
submit my currently used solution as a small contribution to the net.
Enclosed is a set of QuicKeys (now called "Shortcuts") that I use for
(mostly) automated ftp downloads from both info-mac and mac.archive.
Consider it a working prototype; modify as needed. See the enclosed text
file for details.
Requirements:
- QuicKeys 3.0 (need the conditional branch features)
- BBEdit (I use version 2.2.2)
the shortcuts could be easily modified for another grep-able editor;
(I guess Nisus would be ok, Adam
- Fetch (I use version 2.1.1)
- Mac hooked up to the Internet one way or another; I use MacPPP via modem
(otherwise ftp won't work quite as well
- Patience connecting to info-mac or mac.archive via ftp
I would enjoy getting e-mail from people who use this little hack. Please
let me know if you come up with useful improvements!
Enjoy,
Klaus
