How To timestamp downloads
Sometimes it is necessary to dynamically change the destination file/folder name. For example if you have a backup task scheduled which should put the files into a different folder each time it is started.
Tutorial
Part 1 - AddToQueue.exe Tool
In this part we are getting familiar with the AddToQueue.exe command line tool.
KB: AddToQueue command line tool
The syntax to upload a local folder looks like that:
AddToQueue.exe copy folder c:\temp\backup {AEB81A25-62AB-4FB6-B25B-2C2A3F58ECE4}/temp/backup
where {AEB81A25-62AB-4FB6-B25B-2C2A3F58ECE4} is the FavoriteId.
Now we need to figure out the FavoriteId.
Part 2 - FavoriteId
In this part we will figure out the unique FavoriteId for a particular favorite in SmartFTP.
KB: FavoriteId
Part 3 - Create Batch File
Since we now have all the information to use the AddToQueue.exe tool, we can build our batch file which dynamically sets the destination name.
- Start with the Backup.cmd from the %ProgramFiles(x86)\%SmartFTP Client SDK\Samples\TransferQueue\AddToQueue folder
- Update the values in the Backup.cmd:
SourceFolder
FavoriteId
RemoteDestination - Run the Backup.cmd and verify that the correct item is added to the SmartFTP Transfer Queue.
Tip: It may be a good idea to temporary stop the transfer queue
Part 4 - Create scheduled task (optional)
In this part we are going to create a scheduled task in the Windows Task Scheduler which runs the Backup.cmd we have created in Part 3. If you already automate your process with a batch file, this is not required.
- Go to Control Panel - Administrative Tools
- Task Scheduler
- Create new task and run the backup.cmd at the times you desire
