Auto-it script

[bbill1]

I have created a small Auto-it script for the automation of starting the mini-sftp-server. When I want to fire up the server I just click the script instead. Or simply place it in the startup menu. Simply replace the proper fields with your parameters and your done. Remember to save it as .Au3 (I used Auto-it version 3) You can also compile the script to exe once you have entered your parameters into the script.

*Note: Auto-it must be installed to run.

The latest version of the mini-sftp-server saves entered data across instances in the registry. Now the only thing we need to do is start it once it is running. This script will fire the mini-sftp-server and start it listening.
