Command Line Interface

Automated Transfer Profiles can be started from the Windows command line. The syntax is as follows:

"Auto FTP Manager.exe" start < name-of-profile >

When this command is given, Auto FTP Manager will load, execute the named profile, and exit. The graphical interface will open automatically, so someone working at the computer will see the transfer take place.

Note that if the Auto FTP Manager program directory is not in the PATH, you will need to type the entire path to the program, which by default is:

"C:\Program Files\DeskShare\Auto FTP Manager\Auto FTP Manager.exe".

Since the path and file name contain spaces, the quotation marks around them are required.

Command-line use is not practical with the trial version of Auto FTP Manager, because the transfer will not take place until a user closes the Purchase Reminder window.

The command-line interface lets you add Automated Transfers to scripts.
