Is there any way I can easily automate this, either with applescript or
Automator:
sftp username@host
<enter password>
put <filename>
<wait for upload to complete>
exit
My idea is to select the file in Finder and then choose the script from
the script from the Scripts menu bar item, and the rest is done
automatically.
If there's a GUI app (cheap or free) that makes it this easy I'd be open
to that too. Thanks in advance.

That should be relatively easy to do, as simple scripts like this

always get me a pretty direct response hereabouts. I'd recommend
running AppleScript Editor, hitting "record", doing what you want to do
and then examining the resultant script for efficiencies.

Found Fugu; it's doing the job nicely.

Good to know, I'll check it out.

scp = secure copy (see the man page)
They all work on the Mac OS side, the other end is the question.
And there are ways to store authentication info on each end so that a
password is not required.

It's a cool idea, but I wonder whether it saves anything.
rsync speeds up file transfer by not sending fewer bits over the wire.
But each host has to read the whole file to determine which bits to send.
So I would expect it to be slower than cp when both ends are local.
I've thought this for a long time but have been to lazy to test it.

I think you're right. rsync also has lots of comparison overhead before
the copy begins.

That's a kludge though. No thanks. Use the right tool for the job, I say.
