Yes. Robo-FTP uses the /exitcode option on the EXIT command to return a numeric value to the batch file, so your batch file will be notified.

Yes. Robo-FTP can be executed from a batch process. You can specify which script to run, along with more advanced features. Please see the Help file under "command line" for more details.

It is possible to just enter the name of the batch file in a batch file which will run the called batch file however once completed it will not pass control back to the calling batch file leaving the rest of the calling batch file unrun. For example suppose we had the batch files If you then run calling.bat you would not get the line "Back to Calling bat" displayed as after called.bat terminates it does not return to calling.bat.

Yes, Robo-FTP supports the ability to pass in variables in the script command options. Please see the PERFORM command in the Help file for more details.

A batch file is just a text file with a .bat or .cmd extension that adheres to a syntax and a set of valid commands/instructions. To run a batch file just enter the name of the file, you don't need to enter the .cmd or .bat extensions. In line with programming tradition the first batch file we write will output "Hello World". Echo means output to the screen anything after it (the @ suppresses the command being printed to the screen, try it with and without the @).

Yes, a file on an FTP site can be easily renamed with a single script command. See the FTPRENAME Command in the Help file for more details.

Yes. Please see the Help file under GETSITEFILE for more information about seeing if a particular file exists on the FTP server.

Yes, Robo-FTP has a sophisticated, built-in scheduler to execute batch processes whenever you like, so you can run your transfers unattended. You can get more information in the Help file, under the CRON command.

There are two main categories of products: FTP clients and FTP servers. Robo-FTP, Robo-FTP XE, and Robo-FTP Enterprise are all FTP clients and are used to make outgoing connections to FTP servers to push and/or pull files. Robo-FTP Server is an FTP server and is used to allow incoming connections from FTP clients. Please see our Product Guide for more details.

Invoke the script as non-interactive and add a pair of escaped quotes around each string just like you do in (script-fu-register). You DO NOT need to replace '-' with '_' in any names or registrations.

Windows NT 4.0 introduced some extensions to cmd.exe, so to use these make sure HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\EnableExtensions is set to 1. The following is a list of the more common commands you will use This is used to call one batch from inside another. The execution of the current batch file is suspended until the called batch file completes Used to stop batch file execution.

When you call a batch file you may enter data after the command which the batch file refers to as %1, %2 etc, for example the batch file hello.bat if called as "hello.bat john" (you don't need to enter .bat extension, I just use it here as I used bad file names :-) ) expands %1 to a fully qualified path name. If you only passed a file name from the current directory it would expand to the drive/directory as well changes the meaning of n and x options to reference the short name.

You can use the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Color command to set the Command Prompt window colors. For example: sets the colour to yellow on black. The first part is background colour, the second the foreground and are:

An easy way to do this is to have the batch file call itself recursively and pass itself a couple of parameters, like so: Be careful! Recursive batch files can be dangerous, especially if your subroutine fires off another program. Note the syntax for calling subroutines (with parameters) and the special construct for returning (goto :eof).

On native Unix systems, you should be able to run shell scripts directly. On systems running a Unix-type shell (for example, Cygwin on Windows) execute the (command) shell instead - cmd for batch files, sh for shell scripts - then pass the batch file or shell script (plus any arguments to the script) as a single command, using the /c or -c switch, respectively. See the above section for example <exec> tasks executing sh. For batch files, use something like: <exec dir=".

Yes, Robo-FTP can be used for secure, reliable, automated transfer of Positive Pay files. Please contact sales for more information on using Robo-FTP in conjunction with a positive pay program. Our searchable knowledge base covers most of the common errors and implementation problems you are likely to encounter. Need more than basic technical support? Our Professional Services team can help you deploy a complete solution.

I may have found what was wrong. My script is exactly as at the start, exept for the sSQL line.

Yes. Failure to complete and file this form (571-L) will result in the Assessor's estimating the value of your business property, and adding a 10% penalty to the assessment. (R&T Code 441, 463 & 501)

A batch file Logon script can connect drives to network shares, connect to shared printers, and run command line utilities. Anything you can do at a command prompt can be done in a batch file. For example, a batch file Logon script that maps a drive to a network share and connects to a printer could be similar to below: However, a batch file by itself cannot use ADSI to retrieve information from Active Directory.

However, with a game set in the modern world it seems likely that the potential play area will be quite large, so expect instanced areas and loading screens.

Yes, it is possible to download all the files in a server directory. Optionally all subdirectories and files therein may also be downloaded. If a matching directory structure does not exist on the local PC, it will be created. Please see the RCVFILE command in the Help file.

Yes, Robo-FTP has a built in script command that will synchronize two locations. Please see the Help file for the SYNC command for further details.

The best and easiest way to optimize D2_3DFX is to write a batch file (.BAT) to launch D2_3DFX.EXE for you. This BAT file will also include a number of environment variables which affect how the program behaves. If you have trouble with "Out of environment space" messages, see the solution above. Preparing the BAT file is easy: Just copy the text below into a text editor and save the file as a .BAT file in your Descent2 directory. You can call it whatever you want - d2_3dfx.bat is recommended.

Yes, In QEngine Web Functional you can write a value into a CSV file from the test script during playback. You can use the function “writeToCSVFile” to do the same.

Robo-FTP supports FTP, FTPS, and SFTP. FTPS uses SSL to increase the security of FTP transfers. SFTP is a different but similar protocol, based on SSH, which also offers many security advantages over standard FTP. Robo-FTP supports the two most commonly used methods of secure FTP file transfers - SFTP (FTP over SSH) and FTPS (FTP over SSL). FTPS support includes both an encrypted control channel with a clear data channel and encrypted control data channels.

Yes, you can pass a user name and password externally into Robo-FTP through the command line arguments. Search for "command line" in the Help file for more information.
