Edit File Transfer Script
Back to List of Examples
Creating a File Transfer Script file:
If you have scheduled transfers using ConcordFTP, you will find the script files in the (default location) Schedule subfolder of the ConcordFTP installation folder. Those are the records of your schedules. Editing Transfer Scripts gives you the ability to change and reuse your Schedule Transfer procedures. These scheduled transfers can cause ConcordFTP to perform specified file transfer tasks. The editing changes are made directly in the script file using any text editor, such as the user name, folder locations, and so on.
You cannot edit encrypted passwords in the script file. However, you are able to enter unencrypted passwords in the script file by setting Skip Encrypt=1. This option allows you to edit the password in the script file. However, you will lose the encryption protection with unencrypted passwords because anyone who can have access to your script file will be able to see what the password is.
Run a Script from Command Line:
You can run ConcordFTP script files from Command Line or via the Scheduler. The following shows you the syntax for running a ConcordFTP File Transfer Script file:
"C:\Program Files\ConcordFTP\ ConcdFTP.exe" "C:\Program Files\ConcordFTP\Schedule\fs (2002-04-08_16-10-39).dat"
where the first part:
"C:\Program Files\ConcordFTP\ConcdFTP.exe"
is the path and CorcordFTP executable program name (ConcdFTP.exe) enclosed in double quotes;
while the second part:
"C:\Program Files\ConcordFTP\Schedule\fs (2002-04-08_16-10-39).dat"
is the path and script file name (fs (2002-04-08_16-10-39).dat) enclosed in double quotes.
If you would like to schedule it as a silent task, you can add the /q switch:
"C:\Program Files\ConcordFTP\ ConcdFTP.exe" /q "C:\Program Files\ConcordFTP\Schedule\fs (2002-04-08_16-10-39).dat"
If you would like to schedule it as a background task with blinking tray icon, you can add the /t switch:
"C:\Program Files\ConcordFTP\ ConcdFTP.exe" /t "C:\Program Files\ConcordFTP\Schedule\fs (2002-04-08_16-10-39).dat"
