File Menu

 

The Robo-FTP File menu is shown below. The actions off of this menu support opening command scripts and importing or exporting Robo-FTP’s settings.

 

robo_main_file_menu

 

Execute Script File Ctrl + O

Click this menu item (or the (Ctrl+O) key) to open a dialog box where you visually select a command script to run from any folder accessible to your computer. This selected script file is automatically executed. The command script filename is also added to the QuickScript drop-down menu. See the description of the CALL script command for more information.

 

Edit Script File                Ctrl + E

Click this menu item (or press the (Ctrl+E) key) to activate the script file editor and load the currently selected command script. The default editor is the Rofo-FTP Script Editor, but you can specify a different editor on the Files menu in the Configurator. If no script is currently selected the script editor opens to a new file.

 

Import Settings        Ctrl + I

Click this menu item (or press the (Ctrl+I) key) to import configuration settings saved by a previous instance of Robo-FTP. See the description of the IMPORT script command for more information. If the settings file is password protected you must provide it when prompted:

 

settings_file_password

 

Export Settings        Ctrl + P

Click this menu item (or press the (Ctrl+P) key) to export the current configuration settings to a file. This file may be used to replicate the Robo-FTP configuration settings to other instances of Robo-FTP, or may be requested by Technical Support during the diagnosis of a problem. See the description of the EXPORT script command for more information.

 

When you choose the Export Settings… option you will see the following screen:

 

export

 

You will be prompted to export saved passwords after choosing a location to save the exported settings file. These saved passwords include values like Managed Sites, PGP keys and TLS certificates. Exporting your passwords is NOT recommended unless you are in control of all locations where these settings may be distributed.

 

export_passwords

 

If you do choose to include saved passwords, please consider password protecting the exported settings file itself at this prompt:

 

settings_file_password

 

Exit        Alt + F4

Click this menu item (or press the (Alt+F4) key) to disconnect the FTP session link and close the Robo-FTP application. See the description of the EXIT script command for more information.
