A user is able to upload and download files from almost +any remote computer without monitoring the transfer. A user simply +enters the commands or files to be retrieved in an input file. Then, +the program will log onto the specified computer (not necessarily a +ftp site) and execute the given commands. Since Batchftp can run in +the background, a user is free to do other things while the transfer +sessions are taking place. More importantly, it will not give up until +a successful connection has been established with the remote +site. However, execution will be temporarily suspended after a given +number of failures; connection attempts will resume after the extended +delay. |
