About the job

I’m looking to set up a simple AppleScript-based workflow that grabs new document files from my own website every day and saves them to a local folder on my Mac. The site doesn’t require any authentication, so the script can pull the files directly without needing to handle passwords or tokens. I’m open to whatever approach you feel is most reliable—pure AppleScript, an Automator action, a shell script wrapped in AppleScript, or even a launchd plist for scheduling—as long as the end result is a hands-off, daily download that I can drop into place and forget about. Here’s what I need delivered: • A working script or workflow that runs automatically once every 24 hours • Clear instructions on where to place the file(s) and how to enable the schedule • A quick rundown of any configurable variables (URL, destination folder, file type filters) so I can tweak them later if needed If you prefer to prototype first and refine after testing, that’s fine—just tell me how you like to work. Once everything’s up and running smoothly, I’ll run a quick check by comparing the downloaded docs with the originals on the server to confirm it’s capturing each day’s additions without a hitch.
