Most urgent is the problem that Mac users face: the new macOS Big Sur has broken Java, which was used by the program FlashPAP. So we start with a solution to this acute problem.

**macOS solution for FlasPAP not working in macOS Big Sur**
The following text needs to be edited:

Looks like you recently upgraded to Big Sur on your Mac.  Big Sur seems to have broken Java on many machines so it may be a while before an Apple update comes out.

You can also try to install Oracle Java yourself.  FlashPAP was written in Java 7 I believe, so you would need to install Java 8 (LTS???).  I think Java is up to 14 or 15 but I don't know if they are all backwards compatible with the older stuff.  
Another option to search for would be OpenJDK or AdoptOpenJDK.  They are opensource projects for Java.

if your not stuck on using FlashPAP, you can use Macs built in "rsync" and ApplScript instead.  It gets the job done and is my prefererd way of doing it all.  I just turned it into an AppleScript on my desktop, and it is not affected by Java.  Doubleclick it and it mounts FlashAir, copies the filr that have changed to your computer where you can import the data into OSCAR.  If it sounds like something you would like to try I will post the applescript code here and give you guidance  getting it working, it's fairly easy.

I am still on Catalina and have no intension of upgrading to Big Sur until they get another upgrade or 2 fixed first!

Here is the AppleScript for review:
Code:
#Enter you FlashAir card name or IP address below (between the quotes " ")
set diskName to "192.168.1.240"
#
#Enter the location you want your xPAP data transferred to (between the quotes " "). The folder (directory) must already exist!
set copyLocation to "/users/yourusername/Documents/OSCAR_DATA/"
#
#Enter the location of OSCAR.app, by default it's /Applications
set oscarLocation to "/Applications"
#
#Mount the FlashAir card and make sure it shows up in /Volumes
try
    mount volume "http://" & diskName
    repeat until diskName is in (do shell script "ls /Volumes")
        delay 0.2
    end repeat
on error e
    display dialog "An error occured: " & e
end try
#
#Open Terminal and use rsync to copy FlashAir to computer or NAS
tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script "rsync -avz /Volumes/" & diskName & "/" & " " & copyLocation in window 1
end tell
#Pause the app until rsync is finished
set isBusy to true
repeat until isBusy is false
    tell application "Terminal"
        tell window 1
            set isBusy to busy as boolean --> Test if busy
        end tell
    end tell
    delay 1 --> Check every second
end repeat
delay 1
#Unmount FlashAir so we don't accidently change anything on the card
do shell script "diskutil unmount /Volumes/" & diskName
delay 1
do shell script "open" & " " & oscarLocation & "/OSCAR.app"
quit application "Terminal"
after a few minor changes for your computer, just copy it into Script Editor and save it as an app.
