Robo-FTP

Robo-FTP is not a regular FTP client but one that can be instructed to run file transfers unattended, based on user defined scripts.

The application does not pose any problems during the installation process and offers the possibility to decide on the tools that should be added to the system.

As such, during this operation the user has the possibility to include sample scripts that could help with the transfer jobs, a monitoring tool for the application’s services, management tools as well as a COM automation component.

Apart from the regular FTP operations, Robo-FTP can work with connection types such as SFTP, FTPS and HTTP/HTTPS ones.

One of the most powerful features included in the application is support for scripting, which can help the user automate file transfer tasks (incoming or outgoing) with remote locations.

This allows connecting to more than one site at the same time and send or receive files without user intervention.

Creating a basic script can be done by relying on the built-in wizard that guides the user through every step of the procedure. Besides the necessary commands, the wizard also provides the possibility to schedule the operation for a specific time.

The scripting language that can guide Robo-FTP’s actions is not very complex but it is flexible and versatile; the commands are available in the documentation file of the product.

For simple file transfer jobs users can rely on the regular client available in the program. The tool is no different than the other FTP clients on the market, making available the possibility to store connection credentials as well as view the transfer details and the files in the local and remote location.

On the other hand, just like the script-driven tool, it offers support for PGP encryption, decryption, and key-ring management.

Robo-FTP includes all the features of a regular FTP client and adds the functionality of scripting to automate file transfer tasks to and from multiple locations. It is a flexible tool designed for more advanced users that can rely on various commands to get the job done with as little effort as possible.
