Can i configure filzilla for automatique transfert

[loic]

I want to configure a transfert file to download each day a list of file from a distant serveur, is it possible, i should try to make my xml queue, but how can i load filezilla with parameters like :
- open the sever 1 connection,
- load the transfert queue named transfert.xml

Why load a full GUI ftp client for a scheduled process? Why not just script and schedule a windows ftp connection? (ftp -s)

Thank you for your reply, i was already on this way, make a command file for FTP and load it with a window scheduler, i have only one problem, the script udpate a large number of file, by differents commands put, but i search for the option of writing, that compare the date of the new file with the older if it exist, and only make the upload when older. i think i should be like :
put c:/monfichier.txt d:/mmonfichier.txt -option
if anybody know something about this option ...

Well it wouldn't be simple but you could break it in to multiple parts. Go grab the file list with dates (from the server). Do a comparison and build your upload list. Then do the upload. (Definately not friendly for a Windows box)

In fact, when i use simple ftp file command, i can't read the ftp answer, so the simple solution is to overwrite every existing files, i schedule the transfert during the night, so i don't care about the time.

Making a first program that list files, write the ftp answer into a file, and analyse this file to determinate the date of the files will take too much time and will be instable.

I don't want to re-write a ftp client, that why it will be interesting to schedule filezilla instead of using ftp command file loaded by a batch file, scheduled in window...

I hope that fillezilla programmers, will read it and understand the real benefits to improve the scheduling in their programs

In answer to the question, why not just use command line and use a script? The same reason why we don't use command line to do regular downloads routinely. Take advantage of the gui.

It would be nice to use the filezilla gui to select your files by adding them to the queue. Then have it generate a script that can be run from the command line.. or just schedule it for later download.
