BlueZone Secure FTP includes the ability to send initial commands.
Initial commands are one or more commands that you select from a
list of possible FTP commands that are executed in order, upon connection
to the FTP host system.
This feature is especially useful when you need to execute
the same series of FTP commands on reoccurring basis. It is also
a great way to execute a complex set of commands from the DOS command
line.
Note: Initial commands can also be used in conjunction with
the scheduling feature which can be used to completely automate the
execution of commands on a scheduled basis. Refer to
Schedule tab for more information.
- Either create a new FTP connection or edit an existing
one from the Connection List.
- Click the Initial Commands tab.
- Click New.
A dialog displays that is used to select the desired command.
Refer to Initial Commands tab for more information.
Using initial commands with a command line switch
Sometimes it is desirable to run the application from the DOS
command line. BlueZone Secure FTP supports command line switches.
One of these command line switches (/F) is used
to start the application with a specific configuration file. In this
configuration file you can store initial commands that automatically
execute when the application is started.
In this way, you can
use the DOS command line interface to launch BlueZone Secure FTP and
automatically execute a complex set of commands.
Refer to Opening from a command line and DOS command line support for more information.
