How to Use CrossFTP by Command Line?

CrossFTP supports the command line start up for customization purpose. Currently we do not support pure console mode yet. Hence you need a GUI environment to run CrossFTP. To start CrossFTP from the command line, first you need to download the CrossFTP's portable version at http://www.crossftp.com/crossftp-all-bin.zip    After that, the following usage help shows all the parameters available in current CrossFTP client:

Here is an example. In many cases, you want to automate your task, so that you've defined your batch transfer, and saved in a queue file named "test.que". After that you may want to load the this "test.que" at the CrossFTP's start up, and start the transfer automatically. You can use the following command to achieve this:

Windows:
run_client.bat --load=pathTo\test.que --no_restore
Mac/Linux:
run_client.sh --load=pathTo/test.que --no_restore

which means you will load and start the queue file automatically, and does not display the Queue Restore Dialog. After this execution, the CrossFTP will start up, and process the specified queue.
