Parameters

strSessionName / SessionName

bHidden / Hidden

A boolean that when TRUE results in Robo-FTP being loaded and run invisibly. If FALSE, the Robo-FTP window appears as it would normally.

strCmdLineArgs/ Args

A string defining optional command line arguments to pass Robo-FTP when it is launched.

Remarks

This method returns when Robo-FTP has been launched and the session name is established.
