I keep getting the ".....into type string" error in Script Editor. Any ideas? I'm trying to copy the contents of "Source" to the folder "Target". Both folders are on my Desktop
Here is what I have in Script Editor:


do shell script
"rsync -aE --delete /Users/kevinc/Desktop/Source/ /Users/kevinc/Desktop/Target/>>~/rsyncErr.txt || echo -n"

    You need a space and a "2" before the ">>". Your command should look like:
    do shell script "rsync -aE --delete /Users/kevinc/Desktop/Source/ /Users/kevinc/Desktop/Target/ 2>>~/rsyncErr.txt || echo -n"
