Robo-FTP User's Guide > Robo-FTP Interface

By default Robo-FTP runs in a small window (called the console window) that allows you to type script commands for immediate execution and control execution of command scripts via a simple user interface consisting of a menu bar and series of toolbar buttons. For information on entering commands into the console window, see Entering Commands in the Console Window.

Text displayed in the console window may be displayed in color. The colors are keyed to the meaning of each line of text.

Black	Command echo and other information
Green	Command result messages
Red	Error messages and BREAK indicator

The console window menu bar is shown below.

However, Robo-FTP is primarily operated via the toolbar buttons. These buttons provide the controls shown below.

robo_toolbar

When Robo-FTP is running in a window, the current command script filename is displayed as part of the program title.

The bottom windowpane contains the information shown below.

robo_status_bar

When Robo-FTP is running in a window, the window remains open when script execution is complete, unless the EXIT script command is executed. This allows you to scroll back and view the output from the Robo-FTP session, or to restart the command script.
