The Robo-FTP Framework is a feature of our Enterprise product that may be used during the 30 day evaluation after install. When activating you must use an enterprise serial number or the framework will stop operating.

The Robo-FTP Framework makes it easy to monitor and manage a large number of Robo-FTP jobs. The Robo-FTP Enterprise Framework helps you harness the power of the Robo-FTP scripting language by providing a standard set of scripts that covers the kinds of things most customers need to do.

The Framework lets you automate your tasks by configuring “jobs” which are made up of one or more steps, where each "step" performs some basic unit of functionality like compressing, encrypting, uploading, sending notification, etc. The Framework's pre-built scripts handle all the heavy lifting like error handling and storing state so they can recover from catastrophic failure (power loss, etc.).

The Framework also includes a web-based UI and database back-end which you can use to monitor and manage all your jobs (including scheduling).
