How to run FTP Synchronizer from command line?
Previous Top Next

You can run FTP Synchronizer from command line. It's ideal if you want to schedule FTP Synchronizer or integrate FTP Synchronizer with you business workflow. It's easy to do so.

For example:
ftpsynchronizer.exe /RUN /PROFILE:"Profile 1" /PROFILE:"Profile 2" /NOLOG
As you saw, there only two types of parameters:
1) /PROFILE:"<profile-name>"
It means that which profile you want to run. You can specify multiple profiles. FTP Synchronizer will execute them one by one

2) /NOLOG
As there is no UI to show the status of profile. FTP Synchronizer enables the log file as default even if the log of the profile is disabled. You can specify this switch if you really don't need the log.

3) /RUN
As default, FTP Synchronizer only validate the command line parameters and preview the profiles. To run profiles, you need to specify this parameter.

Remarks:
1) The profile name is case insensitive
2) You need to enclose the profile with quotation marks
3) The parameters NOLOG, PROFILE and RUN must be capital

Some examples:
ftpsynchronizer.exe /RUN /PROFILE:"Profile 1"
Run "profile1" and save the log

ftpsynchronizer.exe /RUN /PROFILE:"Profile 1" /PROFILE:"profile 2" /NOLOG
Run "profile1" and "profile 2" orderly, didn't save profile log.
