Put URL - getting files from a remote computer

[Phil Davis]

If you're relying on an FTP server to return the file to you, it seems like the request should include info about the kind of service needed from the Mac. In other words, instead of this:

> put url  
> (file:username:password at address/hardDrive/users/myAccount/filePath/ 
> fileName) into fld "X"

Try this:

> put url  
> (ftp://username:password@address/hardDrive/users/myAccount/filePath/ 
> fileName) into fld "X"

I haven't tested it - just guessing.
