Getting Started


Launching From a Command Line

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

Use the /C command-line switch to launch SEAGULL 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 SEAGULL FTP session number.  The number can be from 1 through 99.  All SEAGULL FTP sessions are numbered with a T# where # is a number 1-99.

Example:

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

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

BZFTP.EXE /FmyConfig.zft

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

SEE DOS Command Line Support for a detailed explanation of using SEAGULL FTP in batch files.
