Windows environment variables can be used in two ways. One way is to pass the environment variable as an argument into Robo-FTP from a shortcut or the Windows Command Prompt command line. Consider the following example where the environment variable %SystemDrive% is passed in as an argument.
C:\Program Files\Robo-FTP\Robo-FTP.exe –p1 %SystemDrive%
The SET command may also be used to copy the value of an environment variable into a Robo-FTP script variable. Consider the following example where the operating system environment variable %SystemDrive% is set to the Robo-FTP script variable named sysdrive:
SET sysdrive = %SystemDrive%
Here is a list of common Windows environment variables:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%
|
Path to the All Users profile directory which contains resources and settings that are shared by all accounts. This is renamed %PROGRAMDATA% starting with Windows Vista.
|
%APPDATA%
|
Path to the Application Data folder of the logged-in user.
|
%COMPUTERNAME%
|
Computer name.
|
%HOMEDRIVE%

|
%HOMEPATH%
|
Defaults to \Documents and Settings\<user name>
|
%LOGONSERVER%
|
Name of the computer that authenticated the current user's credentials.
|
%PATH%
|
The operating uses this list of folders to search for executable programs. If you add the Robo-FTP installation folder to your system's PATH environment variable you can create Scheduled Tasks that simply call the Robo-FTP.exe executable without the full installed file path.
