Copy files between servers - Solved

[Jim Ault]

Solved for my situation

-1- For the Win 2003 C:/temp/_outputFiles/  folder, set the security  
to this user (Rev) as Full Control
-2-
put logText into url ("File:" & "C:/temp/_outputFiles/" & filename &  
".txt")
get shell("chmod 644" && ("C:/temp/_outputFiles/" & filename & ".txt"))

  On the OSX machine that has mounted the temp/ folder as a shared  
folder
-3-
set the defaultfolder to "/Volumes/temp/_outputFiles/"
put the files into fileList
filter fileList without ".*"
repeat for each line LNN in fileList
    put "/Volumes/temp/_outputFiles/" & LNN into sorce
    put "/Users/username/Sites/_outputFiles/" & LNN into dest
    put url ("file:" & sorce) into url ("file:"& dest)
    get shell("chmod 644" && dest)
    delete file sorce -- purge since these are not appended-style  
output files
end repeat

Now apache can read the file.
Actually, I am writing the log files as html formatted, so my  
extension is .html instead of .txt

Later I will add some php and thus I want to allow execution, so
get shell("chmod 777" && destPhpFile)

I am happy that this works well and does the job quickly.
