HostM does support rsync but you have to request SSH to be enabled.

I was able to get an sftp client to work.  Im not sure if LiveCode supports sftp.

This leads me down a new set of unknowns... How do you set up rsync? I assume that there is some configuration required on both the mac and server.

(basic turn by turn instructions for cycling the route.)  This tools sits on the server side and processes requests via a form.   Basically 1 route at a time.

I was thinking about just cycling thru each of the routes, create the pdf and csv on my mac and just push the files onto the server.   It is the push them onto the server that I don’t know how to do.   I am looking for some guidance on both the mac and server side.

All of the examples I see are for a user interface form and that does not make sense for the number of files I need to move.
