How does the command line switch -multi work?

Post by dfrances »

Hi:

I am trying to download several files at a time using the command line function. I noted that the last build had a -multi switch. I put it as an argument but it actually 'hangs' the program (pro version). Do not find documentation of this switch anywhere.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Example:

"c:\program files\coreftp\corecmd.exe" -s -multi -site multiconnprofile -u c:\upload\*.zip -p /remote_directory/ -log c:\logs\upload.txt

Hi:

Thanks for your reply. Just as stated in my original post, the -multi switch just causes the process to "hang".. wether I try to upload or download files. By eliminating the -multi, the process functions well, however only 1 file at a time. Am I missing something?

I am using a trial version of CoreFTP pro (version 2.2 build 1775) I downloaded yesterday since I understand it supports multithreaded downloads.
