CoreFTP/CoreCMD commandline hangs on missing site profile

[Hedde van der Lugt]

We are using the commandline version of CoreFTP in a non interactive evironment. If the site profile is missing CoreFTP displays an interactive message to the screen and waits for OK to pressed. This will hang our batch proces.

Is it possible to disable ALL interactive of graphical user interaction for CoreFTP/CoreCMD. (I expect there are more error situations that results in messages and wait for user interaction.)

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can use the -s switch to make it silent.

Make sure you CD (change directory) in your batch.

Also, you may have a problem with your batch not having permission to read the registry.

I recommend you use file configuration rather than the registry.

Click View -> Options
Select Data
Uncheck Lock Settings
Type admin for the password
Select option Use Default Configuration File

NOTE: You will have to reset all of your configurations.

There is a lot of help in the CoreFTP help file.

Click Help -> Contents
Click Index
Select Index tab
Type Command Line
Double Click the Command Line selection


Voila, you have the available switches.

Note: it does not have the complete list of switches so you will have to search this forum for more.

Thanks for all reactions!

I am using version 1.3c build 1437 (the latest) and use the -s silent option.

There is no registry or other rights problem, CoreFTP works fine until we give a non-existing profile as argument on the commandline. This is a configuration error, we try however to build a non-interactive full and fool proof system.
