Robo-FTP®

Robo-FTP is a powerful script-driven FTP client to control unattended file transfers between your PC and remote FTP sites. Robo-FTP supports standard (non-secure) FTP connections, secure SFTP (FTP + SSH) connections,  FTPS (FTP + SSL) connections, and HTTP/HTTPS connections.

Robo-FTP is also COM/OLE enabled permitting direct control from a user application. Sample programs (with source code) written in both C++ and Visual Basic are provided to guide a programmer in using this feature of Robo-FTP.

Although Robo-FTP’s design is centered around the execution of script files, the product also includes a simple but capable FTP client applet. This applet is not intended to replace other more functional products that you may use or know of, but can be an invaluable tool while developing and testing Robo-FTP script files. The applet may be used to interactively determine the operation of an FTP site in order to build a script file to mimic the steps that may otherwise be required by an operator.

Under the control of its powerful script language, Robo-FTP can be directed to connect with one or more FTP sites, send and receive text and binary files, to detect and recover from errors at any time of the day or night.

Robo-FTP maintains a detailed log file to record the events of a file transfer session. Each log file entry is stamped with the system date and time and records the step-by-step activity of a session for later review. Each log entry is immediately written to the log file so it is always up to date - even if your system loses power or crashes.

In summary, Robo-FTP has been designed from the ground up as an unattended, file transfer package. Many other popular FTP packages designed for attended operation are excellent if you are there to drive, but often come up short if your needs call for unattended operation. For those times, there is Robo-FTP.
