EXPORT Export configuration settings to a local file

Top Previous Next

Syntax:	EXPORT	[ file name ] [ /options ]
Arguments:	[ file name ]	Variable or string defining a file or path name; if no path is defined Robo-FTP’s working folder is used.
Options:	/inclpw	Include this option if you wish to export your encoded PGP private passphrase along with the other Robo-FTP settings. Generally it is NOT recommended to include your passphrase in settings that you are distributing unless you are in control of all locations where these settings may be distributed.

This script command exports the current configuration settings to a file. Configuration data comes from the system registry, the %installdir\ProgramData folder and the <My Documents>\Robo-FTP 3.X folder. The exported settings file may be used in a subsequent IMPORT operation to restore a previous set of configuration settings, to distribute identical settings to multiple computers or may be requested by technical support to ascertain how Robo-FTP is configured.

Although a settings file may be exported with any valid [ file name ] Robo-FTP will only import files exported in version 3.8 or later if they are named with the .sar file extension. Earlier versions of Robo-FTP expect settings files to be named with .set as the file extension.

Settings may also be exported manually using the Export Settings… command under the File menu.

Settings may be imported using the IMPORT script command, by the -g command line switch, or Import Settings… command under the File menu.

Important

Specify the /inclpw option ONLY if you wish to export your encoded PGP private passphrase along with the other Robo-FTP settings. Including your passwords is NOT recommended unless you are in control of all locations where these settings may be distributed.
