Scheduling Transfers
CuteFTP allows you to schedule transfers from the Queue Window. Additionally, you can schedule uploading files from your local computer to a server and downloading files from a server to your local computer.
To schedule transfers from the Queue Window
-
In the Queue Window, click the file to be transferred, then do one of the following:
-
On the main menu, click Tools > Queue > Schedule Selected.
-
Right-click the item, then click Schedule Selected.
The Scheduling Properties dialog box appears.
-
-
Select the Schedule the current item check box.
-
In the Start on boxes, specify a date and time to transfer the item.
-
If you want the transfer to repeat automatically, select the Enable Recurrence check box, then, in the Repeat every boxes, specify how often you want the transfer to repeat.
-
Click OK.
-
You can schedule multiple transfers.
-
CuteFTP continues to run and complete any scheduled or pending transfers even if you exit the program before a transfer is scheduled to start, unless the "Don't close the transfer engine if tasks are pending" is disabled in Tools > Global Options > General.
-
If you close the Transfer Engine or shut down the computer before a scheduled transfer can start, CuteFTP prompts if you still want to complete the scheduled transfer the next time you open CuteFTP.
-
If you leave CuteFTP or the Transfer Engine open to accomplish a number of tasks, it is a good idea to configure CuteFTP to delete successfully finished items from the queue.
