For creation of a folder the sys error() returned 0. Following is the actual
handler in full.
on syncFiles theSourceFiles, theDestFiles
if the last char of theDestPath is "/" then delete the last char of
theDestPath
set the itemDelimiter to "/"
repeat for each line theSourceFile in theSourceFiles
put theSourceFile into theDestFile
replace theSourcePath with theDestPath in theDestFile
if not there is a file theDestFile then
open file theSourceFile for binary read
put the result into theError
read from file theSourceFile until eof
close file theSourceFile
put it into theSourceData
put item 1 to -2 of theDestFile & "/" into theCurrentPath
if not there is a folder theCurrentPath then
create folder theCurrentPath
put the result into theError
if theError is not empty then
put syserror()
answer error "Cannot create directory. Check permissions." as
sheet
close file theSourceFile
exit syncFiles
end if
end if
open file theDestFile for binary write
put the result into theError
if theError is not empty then
put syserror()
answer error "Cannot write to this directory. Check the file path
and permissions." as sheet
close file theDestFile
exit syncFiles
end if
write theSourceData to file theDestFile
close file theDestFile
end if
end repeat
end syncFiles
