Rightload - Official Forums / Mac (Leopard) workaround for RL

« on: June 25, 2009, 10:28:48 AM »

Having just switched to Mac, I missed my r-click uploads with RightLoad.
I have found a workaround, which although not as quick as RL, works nicely on the Mac

In Applications, open Automator.

• Choose Custom.
• Under the Library options in the l-hand panel, choose Files & Folders.
• In the r-hand column, double-click on Get Selected Finder Items.
• In the l-hand panel, click on Other (below Utilities), and choose Upload to FTP.
  Fill in all your information. In the Directory and Base URL boxes, make sure you don't have a trailing /.
  (I had a hard time getting mine to work, but found you need to have Force PASV as yes.)
• This next step is optional: Click on Utilities in the l-hand column and then choose Copy to Clipboard if you want the result pasted to the clipboard.
• Save your workflow file.
• You now need to create the r-click (or Ctrl+Click if you don't have r-click of mouse enabled for secondary button) feature in Finder so choose:
  File | Save As Plugin...
• Give it a name e.g. Wordpress themes and make sure you save plugin for Finder.

Now to see if it all works...

• R-click (or Ctrl+Click) on your Folder or file(s) you want to upload.
• Choose More > Automator > Wordpress themes

In your Status bar at the top you should see a message saying Upload to FTP with a red dot.
Login to your site and see if all is okay.
Hope this helps someone!
PS - Attached is an example Workflow file.
