Site Information

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

If you use a configured site from the command line, WS_FTP uses the User ID, Password, and Account Name you saved in the site configuration. To use a configured site, enter the site name in front of the remote directory (which can be either the source or the destination). If the configured site is stored in a folder, you must also enter the folder name. Separate the folder name from the site name by using the ! symbol (sitefolder!site). In the example above, we use the border site configuration stored in the robert folder.

If you have saved a password with the site, WS_FTP logs you on using the saved password. If you have not saved a password with the site, you can enter it in the command line by using the -w argument.

For example:

wsftppro -u username -w password -s robert!border:/pub/tartan.bmp -d local:c:\armstrong\

If you have saved an account name in the site configuration, the command line logs you on using the saved account name. If you have not saved an account name, you can use the -c argument to specify the account name when you enter the command line. For example:

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

If you do not use a configured site profile, you must put the IP address, URL, or host name in the source or destination argument to connect to that site. See the Transfer Source and Transfer Destination sections for examples of command line commands that use this.
