Comments on: How To Trigger the Download of a File Remotely (Mac Only) http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-remote-trigger-the-remote-download-of-a-file-mac-only/ Cool Websites, Software and Internet Tips Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:26:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Michiel http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-remote-trigger-the-remote-download-of-a-file-mac-only/#comment-424999 Michiel Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:32:28 +0000 http://www.makeuseof.com/?p=25448#comment-424999 Great idea! A few enhancements that made my life easier: Textedit, my main scrapapp thingy, only saves in rtf. So in order to get iGetter to read the files, I needed to make the rtf into a txt. So I added a "Replace text in finder names"-action. Set to 'replace text', find 'rtf' in 'extension only' replace 'txt' Then I wanted to get more downloads in one file. So I recorded an action where I clicked OK on the pop-up window in iGetter, stripped the crap and copied the action in to my flow. Now I can add multiple downloads in 1 rtf and still have them read! ;) Great idea!

You can't open it via File--> New menu.

To share links, I use Xmarks in both the home and work computers' Firefox.
