Hey guys. I'm trying to upload all the quicktimes from a folder on my desktop called "finished" to my ftp. After trying mutiple ways including, automator actions, terminal shell scripts, and an ftp application called "cute ftp" I have still not solved my problem. The files start to upload and freeze up, or dont upload at all. I am now trying an ftp program called cyberduck. I wrote the following applescript. It's not working, but I am filling what looks like all the necessary info the cyberduck dictionary commands state. Any ideas?

applescript:

tell application "Cyberduck" to launch
tell application "Cyberduck" to connect as user "myusername"
tell application "Cyberduck" to connect to "myhostname"
tell application "Cyberduck" to connect with connect mode "ftp"
tell application "Cyberduck" to connect with initial folder "/myftpsite/quicktimedestinationfolder"
tell application "Cyberduck" to connect with password "mypassword"
tell application "Cyberduck" to connect with port "21"
tell application "Cyberduck" to connect with protocol "ftp"
tell application "Cyberduck" to upload item "macintosh hd/Users/John/Desktop/Finished/*.mov"
tell application "Cyberduck" to disconnect
