Need help writing a script? Have any question about ScriptFTP?
Hi ScriptFTP Support Team

We are very interested about the ScriptFTP and the script file to exe conversion service. We have couples of questions about them, would you be able to give me some idea? Thanks.

About the Script file to EXE conversion service

1.Do you do white branding? When the exe file run, can we put our own brand on the window rather than the ScriptFTP branding?

2. Is it possible to automatically close the window after the script completed? We would like to setup a windows schedule task so that when the script is completed, the window can be closed.

3. I read that from your site: I can pass parameter into the script. is there any limitation of the parameter? or any limitation to the character that I want to pass in?
* I need to pass in the FTP username, FTP password, a local folder path (ie. c:\temp\) and a remote ftp path (ie \httpdocs\temp)


About the ScriptFTP

A. About the scheduler (the one in the ScriptFTP), would that work on Windows 2008 R2, without login.

B. About the scheduler (the one in the ScriptFTP), do I need to run the ScriptFTP ever time after I restarted the machine? or it will be setup at the first time that i add the task into the ScriptFTP scheduler?

C. About the script, is there any way to trigger a HTTP request after all the files have been uploaded to the server? I need that http feature to trigger some logic in my remote server.


Thanks.
Hello,

Thanks for your interest in ScriptFTP.
1.Do you do white branding? When the exe file run, can we put our own brand on the window rather than the ScriptFTP branding?
Yes, of course. In fact, this is quite usual. The customers choose the name they want and the icon to the EXE.
Is it possible to automatically close the window after the script completed? We would like to setup a windows schedule task so that when the script is completed, the window can be closed.
Yes, using the EXIT command on the bottom of the script makes ScriptFTP (or the converted EXE) close.
I read that from your site: I can pass parameter into the script. is there any limitation of the parameter? or any limitation to the character that I want to pass in?
As far as I know, there are no character length limitations to the parameters passed in the command line in Windows.
About the scheduler (the one in the ScriptFTP), would that work on Windows 2008 R2, without login.
In theory, yes. ScriptFTP relies on the scheduler capabilities of the underlying operating system. If you can create a scheduled task on the Windows 2008 R2 that runs without login you can schedule a script the same way.
B. About the scheduler (the one in the ScriptFTP), do I need to run the ScriptFTP ever time after I restarted the machine? or it will be setup at the first time that i add the task into the ScriptFTP scheduler?
It will be automatically set up. No further action on your part is needed to run the scheduled scirpt.

C. About the script, is there any way to trigger a HTTP request after all the files have been uploaded to the server? I need that http feature to trigger some logic in my remote server.
try running wget.exe with the EXEC command. Wget is a command line program used to retrieve web sites and do http requests:

Feel free to post here again if you have any other questions.
Thanks a lot Script FTP support Team.
Hi ScriptFTP support team

If I have had the script ready, how long dose it take you to convert it to EXE file for us? That would help us to plan the scheduling for the project. Thanks.

Hi David,

It usually takes a couple of hours but it depends on the complexity of the script. You can expect to have the script converted to EXE within the same business day or the next one at most.
