Using the Robo-FTP Client Applet

Top  Previous  Next

 

The Robo-FTP client applet is a simple Robo-FTP client application modeled after a popular public domain program. The applet is started by clicking on the Run Robo-FTP Client Applet menu item or toolbar button, or by executing the FTPCLIENT script command. You may switch freely between the Robo-FTP client applet and the Robo-FTP script environment.

 

Each environment shares the same FTP session, so you may connect to or disconnect from a FTP site from either a script file or from within the Robo-FTP client applet. The same configuration settings apply to both environments.

 

The Robo-FTP client applet is useful to understand how a session with a particular FTP site takes place so that it can be automated with a script file. The Robo-FTP client applet may also be used to predefine and/or manage parameters for additional FTP sites beyond the two that you may have defined with the Robo-FTP Configurator.
