Export swf directly to a server using Forklift (osx)

You can not set the publishing path of your flash movie to a server, althought sometimes it can be very useful. I googled for solutions but without results. Then I just figured it out:

1) OPEN:
Open the swf (which you manually uploaded before) from the server with Forklift (right click on the file, select ‘edit with’, than choose the flash editor app from the application folder under ‘other’ if you don’t have it in the ‘open with’ list)

2) CHECK THE TEMP FOLDER:
After the swf was opened in the flash editor Forklift saves a copy of the file to a temporary folder and listens for changes. Every time the file is changed it will be uploaded. The temporary folder is located somewhere here:

your username/Library/Caches/com.binarynights.ForkLift/#8
(the folder with the highest number will be yours)

3) SET PUBLISH PATH:
Close swf, open actual fla. Press ‘publish settings’ under the file menu. Set the flash export location to the temporary directory you just find out under the ‘format’ tab.

4) EXPORT:
By pressing cmd+enter you can preview your flash movie, but also automatically upload it to a given destination, plus you receive a growl message as the upload is done.

Great, isn’t it?

It possibly works also with cyberduck witch is free.
