Suppressing output to console or log file

 

Two different options are supported to suppress the echoing of script commands to both the console window and the log file. One option suppresses the command and any result message(s) while another suppresses the command echo but permits result message(s) to appear.

 

Begin a script command with an "at" symbol to completely suppress the command and its result message(s).

 

;; Log on to an FTP site but suppress all output

@FTPLOGON

 

 

Begin a command with an exclamation point to suppress the command from being echoed but permit any result message(s) to be logged.

 

;; Issue command but do not echo

!PERFORM cmd

 

Note: Some FTP clients use the "!" character to access the command shell. In Robo-FTP you can use the DOSCMD and EXEC commands to run external programs.
