FTP Scheduler Basic Edition Support

Q: I upgraded to version 1.0 of FTP Scheduler and the schedule I had saved is now blank.

A: In version 1.0, the start time is different than in previous version.  You will have to set it again and save your configuration.

 

Q: Can I use * and ? wildcards in FTP Scheduler?

A: Yes.  Starting with version 0.5, FTP Scheduler supports * and ? wildcards.

Q: How do I start FTP Scheduler in minimized mode?

A: Start FTP Scheduler with the -m parameter i.e.: "ftpscpre.exe" -m from the command line (requires version 0.4 build 144 or above).

Note: The -m parameter is case sensitive and must be entered in lowercase.  You can combine parameters by leaving a space between them i.e. "ftpscpre.exe" -m -r

Starting with version 1.0, you can use the option tab instead of the start-up parameters

Q: How do I automatically start the scheduler at FTP Scheduler's start-up?

A: Start FTP Scheduler with the -r parameter i.e.: "ftpscpre.exe" -r from the command line.  This will do the following:

  • Start FTP Scheduler
  • Load the saved information
  • Start the schedule

If there is not enough information to start the schedule, an error message is displayed.

Note: The -r parameter is case sensitive and must be entered in lowercase.  You can combine parameters by leaving a space between them i.e. "ftpscpre.exe" -r -m

Starting with version 1.0, you can use the option tab instead of the start-up parameters

 

Q: When running the FTP Scheduler installation I get a message: "C:/Program Files/ProSoft/FTP Scheduler/nmorenu.dll failed to self register"

A: Although we are unsure why this message appears, it does not affect the FTP Scheduler installation, and so the message can be ignored.

Q: I have minimized FTP Scheduler and I cannot find it on my desktop.

A: Since FTP Scheduler is meant to run all the time, it stores itself on the taskbar in order to save some desktop real estate (see image below).  Simply click once on the icon in the task bar to restore the program on your desktop.

Q: How do I upload files?

A: FTP Scheduler (Basic Edition) does not support the upload of files

Q: What happens if I download a file and a file with the same name already exists on my system?

A: Starting with version 1.0, you can prevent files from being overwritten by setting the proper option.
