command line syntax for download using -scal

Post by rscheinberg59 »

I am looking for the correct command line syntax for downloading a list of files contained in a text file. I am using the following command:

[code]-s -site profile -scal C:\Processes\filename.txt -p destinationfolder[/code]

The filename.txt has lines that look like this:

[code]RETR "/folder/file1.txt"
RETR "/folder/file2.txt"
RETR "/folder/file3.txt"[/code]

When I run this the gui pops up and is not even set to go to the correct profile in the command line, so obvious this whole syntax is messed up. I have used the command line for a long time with this profile but using a wildcard instead and that has worked great. But I need to have a process that downloads only some of the files and can't use the wildcard to pick them. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You may need to include a -d (download) or -u (upload) parameter to get the script to work, otherwise the script isn't being executed.

This is a bug and will be fixed in an upcoming build (> 1786).
