There are only minimal command line options currently, if you'd like something to be implemented on the command line then let us know. /D: will set the local directory to . The colon is optional. If the directory doesn't exist it will be created (but only if a file is actually transferred into it). /G will start transferring any files that are the queue when BPFTP first loads up (can be combined with /S). Basically, it just clicks the 'go' button for you automatically on startup. /Q will temporarily enable quit after download. This would be useful if you're running bpFTP as an event. By temporarily I mean it won't save it in the 'on download completion' options. /S: will load the session from file . Any files in the queue won't be processed automatically - if you want it to be processed then use /G as well. anything else prefixed with a slash is ignored. Apart from those two options you can specify FTP/http urls on the command line. You can specify as many as you want, and they'll all be transferred one after the other. Examples bpFTP.exe FTP://FTP.site.com/directory/file.ext /q will download /directory/file.ext from FTP.site.com, and quit when the transfer has been completed. bpFTP.exe FTP://FTP.site.com/directory/file.ext FTP://FTP.site2.com/directory2/file2.ext /dc:download http://www.microsoft.com/dir/file.exe will download /directory/file.ext from FTP.site.com, /directory2/file2.ext from FTP.site2.com, and /dir/file.exe from www.microsoft.com into the directory c:download Hopefully that should explain the basics, if you have any problems or suggestions for other command line options then let us know.
