I have downloaded Cronnix, but am a little intimidated by it all. Don't quite know how to do your step 5 and 6. Can I just drag and drop the workflow into the Cronnix box? Tried to use Import in Cronnix, but the workflow is grayed out. I have been using Automator with the iCal plugin, but want to do it without the plugin, so I am interested in this idea.

By using Automator, you don't have to add a "Launch Program" step to the workflow. Transmit Installs an action right in to Automator (maybe not when this was written though) so you can drag the Transmit action directly in as your first step. After you set the paths and such for the destination folder, just drag in a "Quit Application" action. I save as an app and added it to my Open at Login list. Kudos to the first comment by Ray, I didn't even think to create a backup schedule using iCal. Great idea!This saves a step. You can simplify this a bit.

Wondering if you can help me with a problem I'm having.There are certain files that Transmit uploads even though they were just uploaded the night before. The transcript says "No such file or directory" but the exact same files, with the same names are already on the server. This only happens with certain files.I'm running the "Synchronize Files" script and have specified "upload" and "update."Any help would be much appreciated.
