Creating Scripts

You can interact with the TE directly from your own custom applications using common programming languages such as Visual Basic (VB) or in a scripting language supported by the Windows Scripting Host (WSH).

You can create a script from the development IDE of your choice, or you can create scripts from within CuteFTP by clicking Tools > Macros & Scripting > New. CuteFTP will open a template script file in a document window.

To create a new script file, you need to have some familiarity with programming concepts and, ideally, some experience with VB or Java.

If you do not have any programming experience, you can still create scripts using the session Record and Playback functionality in CuteFTP.

• Due to the wide range of scripts that CuteFTP is able to accommodate, we are unable to offer technical support on individual scripts other than what is available in the help files and online Knowledge Base.

• If you are having trouble with your script, try to perform the desired action manually, using the CuteFTP interface. If you cannot, then troubleshoot that problem first, and then retry your script.

• le="font-weight: bold;">If you are able to perform the desired actions, and in the desired sequence when using the interface, then the problem is not with CuteFTP or the FTP Server. The next thing to do is to troubleshoot your script line by line.

• You have to register the TE COM component on the computer before you can create script files to interact with it.
