openFT-Script provides a script language in XML notation which comprises the following openFT functions which are familiar to users from the command or C interface:
Asynchronous file transfer
Create directories in the remote system
Delete files or directories in the remote system
List directories in the remote system
Run command scripts in the remote system
All openFT-Script functions can also be applied to local files or directories.
In addition, openFT-Script possesses the following advantages compared to the abovementioned interfaces:
Logically interdependent individual requests can be combined in a single request thus permitting simple monitoring.
Individual requests can be run in sequence or in parallel.
openFT-Script can restart. If an openFT-Script request is interrupted at a specific individual request then the openFT-Script request is resumed at this point on restart.
openFT-Script requests can be monitored and interrupted in the openFT Explorer via the Ftscript Requests object directory.
Alternative actions can be defined if errors occur (e.g. partner not accessible, file not present etc.).
