Hello,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to copy local files to a remote drive  
such as a shared smb or afp drive using the regular File, Dir or  
FileUtils routines? Are there any examples or anything out there, i  
have not found anything and would rather not revert to running shell  
scripts.

thx

AC
