Specifying Command Line Parameters

To set a command line argument, use the following syntax: FTMSCMD [parameters] “local_file_name” “remote_file_name”

Options can include any number of the following forms:
  • Options are indicated by a forward slash (/) or a hyphen (-) followed by the option. Some options need arguments, while some do not. A forward slash is provided for the DOS standard. A hyphen is provided for the UNIX standard.
     /option (DOS Standard) 
     -option (UNIX Standard)
  • When an option requires an argument, the argument is separated from the option name by a colon (:) or an equal sign (=), as the following example illustrates.
    /option_name:option_value 
    -option_name:option_value 
    /option_name=option_value 
    -option_name=option_value

Typing FTMSCMD /? provides a list of all arguments.
