Robo-FTP User's Guide > Script Programming > Script Commands > All Script Commands > EXPORT - Export configuration settings to a local file

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 install 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.
	/pw=xx	Specify a password to protect the exported settings file. If this option is used, the same password is required to import settings.

This script command exports the current configuration settings to a file. Configuration data comes from the system registry, the %installdir\ProgramData and the %installdir\UserData folders. 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 imported and exported using the Configurator Settings menu. This is the preferred method.

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.
