Podcast Producer Custom SFTP Upload Workflow

I built a Custom workflow for publishing files generated from other workflows or as a simple stand alone SFTP uploader. Podcast Composer does contain file transfer publish options but the  GUI options are limited. For instance it does not allow for setting file permissions

I searched around on the web for SFTP upload examples but found none that did exactly what I wanted. I did find that Apple posted this tutorial which includes a ruby script that uses SFTP to publish files for a transcription service. I downloaded the example workflow from http://connect.apple.com and the edited files I needed to suit my needs.

First Step
Copied the upload_to_transcription_service.rb and renamed it to upload_to_unix.rb. removed unneeded pieces of the code and added chmod.

sftp.setstat(movie_destination_path, :permissions => 0664)

Second step
Created a basic workflow with podcast capture and then edited the template.
