FTPShell Script Details

One of the best ways to automate a file transfer task is to write a script for it and schedule it for execution. FTPShell Script is a simple scripting language specially designed to enable users to automate file transfer tasks. It supports basic constructs for looping, conditional execution, list manipulation, and wildcard matching. It also supports several macro commands for file processing activities and secure file transfer. FTPshell script supports secure transfers using SSL/TLS (FTPS) and SSH (SFTP) and the ability to send email for status notification. The scripting language is easy to use and you can start writing your own scripts in less than an hour. We also provide a script writing service to help write complex scripts.

The Enterprise edition of FTPShell Client can compile and execute FTPShell Scripts. Scripts may be scheduled as recurring/one-time tasks, executed from the command line, or called from other scripts.
