Robo-FTP Server > Server Event Scripts

Robo-FTP Server is able to launch automation scripts when connected users perform certain activities including: logging in, logging out, uploading a file, downloading a file and changing directories. The versatile scripting language can be used to implement creative work flow automation solutions. Some common uses of Server Event scripts are:

➢When a user uploads a file, check to see if it is encrypted, If so, automatically decrypt it and save a decrypted copy of the file to a local directory.

➢Send an email (or SMS text) alert when a specific file is uploaded.

➢Move uploaded files into a different folder, a network share or even to a different external FTP site.

➢Back-up a user's files after that user logs off.

➢When a user logs in, copy the most recent version of a local file, zipped and encrypted, into their home directory.

➢Launch an external executable or database job and pass in the name of a newly uploaded file.

➢Hide or delete a file after it has been downloaded a specific number of times.

You can configure Robo-FTP Server to use the same event script for every user account or you can individually assign different event scripts to each user.
