Script File Command Options

Command options may be present on certain script file commands following the command name and any arguments that may be required. Options always begin with the slash "/" character. For instance, in an option such as /timeout=10, you must not put spaces on either side of the equal sign. Many commands support multiple options. Examples of command options are below:

RCVFILE /timeout=0

SENDFILE "example.txt" /archive

FTPLOGON "ftp.secure.com" /servertype=FTPSDATA /trust=ALLOW

The password option in the following example contains a space character so it must be enclosed in quotes:

FTPLOGON "ftp.MyServer.com" /user=Bob /pw=My Secret ;; error invalid argument!

FTPLOGON "ftp.MyServer.com" /user=Bob /pw="My Secret"

In the first row without the quotes, the command parser sees the value of the password option as "My" and the remaining "Secret" as an invalid argument.
