Getting Started

Program Execution

Starting BlueZone FTP

After the installation of BlueZone for the Desktop is complete, BlueZone FTP can be executed by double-clicking the BlueZone FTP Desktop Icon.

BlueZone FTP can also be started by clicking the Windows "Start" button, then clicking "Programs", then "BlueZone" then BlueZone FTP.

Another way of running the program is by selecting Start:Run from the Windows Taskbar and browsing to the BlueZone FTP installation directory and double clicking on the BZFTP.EXE file.

Command Line Switches

BlueZone FTP supports the use of "Command Line Switches" during program startup.

Use the /C command-line switch to launch BlueZone FTP and connect to a specific Host Name. An example would be:

BZFTP.EXE /CmyHost will launch a session with the name "myHost".

Use the /S command-line switch to launch a specific BlueZone FTP session number. The number can be from 1 through 99. All BlueZone FTP sessions are numbered with a T# where # is a number 1-99. An example would be:

BZFTP.EXE /S10 Will launch Session 10. BlueZone FTP will display T10.

Use the /F<filename> command-line switch to launch BlueZone FTP and use the configuration stored in <filename>. An example would be:

BZFTP.EXE /FmyConfig.zft

The file must exist in the BlueZone FTP "Config" subdirectory.

The following is a complete list of BlueZone FTP Command Line Switches:
