Command-Line Parameters for FTP backup
Z-FTPcopyII is not only a graphical program, but also a command-line utility, i.e. it can be controlled with command-line parameters.
Command-line parameters make it possible to give the program a command at startup which it the executes. This is especially useful for FTP/SFTP/FTPS transfers in batch processing or use in scripts and other programs. Generally, the program is automatically started with the correct parameters by Z-DBackup, but it is also possible to run it manually. The parameters must be specified after the program name, each separated by spaces. If any file names contain spaces, they must be quoted with double quotes (")!
FTP Command-Line Parameters
These commands must be specified in a correct program call:
zftpcopy.exe Command SOURCE TARGET Server Username Password
The commands are: put, puts, get, gets and view.

Parameter |
Function |
-p |
Activates FTP Passive
Mode. The passive mode controls who
establishes the data connection for
file transfers after the
initialisation connection is
complete. If the passive mode is
disabled, the FTP server establishes
the connection to the client to
transfer files. Some firewalls or
proxy servers do not allow this kind
of incoming connections. If the
passive mode is enabled, Z-FTPcopyII
creates an additional connection for
file transfers.
|
-port |
Specify the port, e.g.: -port
990. |
-ftps |
FTPS Protocol. The unsecure
variant uses SSL encyption only for
the username and password. |
-ftpsdaten |
FTPS Protocol. The secure
variant also encrypts all data
traffic. Note that it is somewhat
slower due to the additional
encryption effort. |
| -ftpsimplicit |
Basically the same as the
FTPS variants. You should use this
option if you use an older FTP
server with an SSL wrapper. |
| -sftp |
SSH File Transfer Protocol
(SFTP). |
| -archivbit |
Only files with the archive
attribute set are transferred. The
archive flag is deactivated by
Z-FTPcopyII, so that next time, only
new and changed files are
transferred. |
| -asc |
ASCII Mode Transfer. |
| -proxyhost |
Proxy Name/IP |
| -proxyport |
Proxy Port |
| -proxyuser |
Proxy Username |
| -proxypass |

e.g. -proxytype 4 |
| |
| -noproxy |
By default, Z-FTPcopyII uses
the same Internet options as
Internex Explorer. This option
overrides the default settings. |
| -maske |
For the parameters puts and
gets you can also specify a filename
mask (e.g. -maske *.zip) to restrict
the file selection.
|
Return Value
A return value of 0 tells the calling program that the transfer was successful. A return value larger than 0 signals an error.
