Scripting Methods → Script Files
The most easy and common way to automate file transfers is to put the script commands that control the transfer into a file and tell PyroBatchFTP to execute the commands one by one from this file. This can be done via the Command Line Parameters or from the program's pulldown menu or toolbar. PyroBatchFTP will then show the executed commands and their results in it's main window and will log them to file.
For details sample scripts, details and explanation please read script commands, log file and the file MANUAL.DOC in the PyroTrans directory (MANUAL.DOC is not available for PyroTransFTP).
: Example
TerminateAfterScript 1
Milestone FILENAME "milestones.log"
// Retry 3 times with a one minute delay
// (applies to the @Connect commands)
SetRetry 3, 60

OnError SkipTo NextServer
@Connect "ftp.site1.com", "joedoe", "secret"
// in case of error continue with disconnect
