REATING 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 Professional by selecting Tools > Macros & Scripting > New 

Script. 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. For those of you who have neither, or just 

want a template to work from, load one of the predefined scripts included with CuteFTP or 

the TE and edit it to suit your needs. A few sample scripts are included in this document.  

Tip: 

If you don t have any programming experience, you can still create scripts 

using the session Record & Playback functionality in CuteFTP 

Professional. 

Configuration notes 

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 GUI.  If you cannot, then troubleshoot that problem first and 

then re try your script.   

If you are able to perform the desired actions, and in the desired sequence when 

using the GUI, then the problem is not with CuteFTP or the FTP Server.  The next 

thing to do is to troubleshoot your script line by line. 

Once the TE COM component is registered, you can create script files that will 

interface to it.  

Most of this document, including the various samples and glossary, are geared 

toward the novice programmer.
