I keep getting permission blocked and denied to write while using a script that gets new jar updates of a script from Dropbox. How can I solve that? @Alek

You can only write/read from %userprofile%/OSBot/Data for windows, or ~/OSBot/Data for *nix systems. Sounds like your making an auto-updater, make it an external application if you want to save to ~/OSBot/Scripts.

Also if you want to get the user directory in a Script, use Script.getDirectoryData()

Have to go through Data folder 

Please don't tag me. If it's a permission saying that something is blocked, then it's blocked. 

OSBot priorities:
1. Security
2. Stability
3. Features

You can ask in the scripting help section for alternatives that are compatible with OSBot.

Edit: May depend on how you are downloading the jar as well. As other's have suggested, also make sure you are downloading in getDirectoryData().

Alright, I understand. Are there any alternative ways to add it to the scripts folder safely?

Well, what are you doing right now?

Someone is coding me a private script and I don't want the pain of downloading the new jar everytime he codes an update for me and then go and replace it with the old version. I just want it to be ready(up to date).

If your using Dropbox, just make a link to the jar in the Dropbox folder. If it updates the link will point to the new version.
