Robo-FTP now contains a built-in Scheduler. We recommend using the built-in scheduler with the run "continuously" schedule option instead of creating stand-alone Windows services. The scheduler offers a simpler, more convenient interface and is easier to set up and troubleshoot should you encounter any issues while developing your custom scripts.

 

Unlike the Enterprise Dashboard, the Service Installer and Monitor utilities are available to users at every Robo-FTP license level.

 

The Service Installer utility is installed in the Start Menu, grouped with other Robo-FTP components. This utility is used to install, optionally start, and to stop and/or remove a Robo-FTP service.

 

The Monitor utility is also installed along with Robo-FTP. Monitor is a Windows desktop tray applet that any user can use to monitor the status of a running Robo-FTP service.
