Transfer Engine (TE) Initial Setup

The Transfer Engine object must be registered as a COM component on the target system. The TE automatically performs COM registration if it has been manually executed (run once) prior to a script or application instantiating (calling) the TE object.

To run script files, you must have the Windows Scripting Host (WSH) installed. WSH relies on the Visual Basic Script and JavaScript engines provided with Internet Explorer 3.0 or later. WSH is also installed as a part of Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0.

To register the TE COM component

Do one of the following:

  • Launch CuteFTP, then close CuteFTP.

  • In the CuteFTP installation folder, double-click ftpte.exe, right-click the TE icon in the system tray, then click Exit Transfer Engine.

It should now be registered.

Once the TE is registered, you can create script files to interface with it. You can create your own scripts or use the scripts included in this user guide, modifying the script to suit your needs.
