I am currently evaluating SmartFTP for use at a client and I need to be able to run the program in the background whether or not anyone is logged in. I came across this article explaining how to run the program using the Task Scheduler, but I'm having a few problems getting it to work.
I created the scheduled task exactly as explained in the article setting it to trigger every 5 minutes. In SmartFTP, I have a task set up to move the files from the server to the local machine every minute and close once the transfer has completed. This all works fine when I run it manually (by opening SmartFTP and leaving it run, the tasks execute and then the program closes). When the Windows scheduled task runs, the application briefly shows up in the task manager and then disappears. None of the files are transferred and the program just appears to crash.
Am I doing something wrong in setting this up? Please let me know if I can provide more information that would help in solving this.
Thanks!
