Basic Command Line Syntax

The following illustrates the correct command line syntax, broken down by argument type.

wsftppro -s <
source
> -d <
destination
>

For example, a command using this format would look like this:

wsftppro -s local:c:\tartan.bmp -d robert!border:/pub/tartan.bmp

The section below shows the breakdown of that command into the parts illustrated above. The command name wsftppro must always be placed in the beginning of the command.

Note: To be able to run a script from any location on your hard disk, we recommend that you add the WS_FTP Professional folder to the path variable in the System Environment.
