open Terminal and start scp

[WalterBeiter]

I want to update a directory on my Raspberry PI and I want to use scp for this. 

 

I've got a keyword which initiates a Run NSAppleScript action. This applescript launches Terminal and it should enter a command. But it won't open Terminal.

 

on alfred_script(q)
  tell application "Terminal"
	do script "scp -r /path/to/folder pi@192.178.168.20:/var/www"
	activate
  end tell
end alfred_script

 

This Applescript action works flawlessly when used with a normal ssh command like "ssh user@server.com". But it does not work with scp. Any ideas?

@WalterBeiter If you're looking to create a workflow that launches Terminal with that command, you can use the Terminal Command action

 

Create your workflow then right-click the canvas to add Actions > Terminal Command (last one in the list)

 

Then all you need to do is enter the command you want Terminal to run and you're good to go!

 

Cheers,
