10.4: A simple way to copy the path to a file or folder
Now it's Mac OS X 10.7 but I guess this is still relevant. What I do is I use FTP client Transmit from Panic. This may not be a practical solution to everyone but since I have it running all the time it's really easy and practical for me: Browse to the desired file or folder, local or remote, in the Transmit window, and CTRL-click to choose 'Copy URL' or 'Copy Path'.
Copy URL will copy something like this to your clipboard:
file://localhost/Users/michael/Pictures/picture1.jpgand Copy Path something like this: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/michael/Desktop/Pictures/picture1.jpg
10.4: A simple way to copy the path to a file or folder
Bumping this thread since I couldn't find another post on this and had to piece it together myself. To get a clickable file url for any file or folder with just applescript, you can use the following code. Basically, it changes the text delimiter for filename spaces from " " to "%20". Then it prepends the POSIX location with the "file://" and copies the result to the clipboard.
