Transfer Engine (SDK) 

Most of the time, you can assign a value to a property or retrieve its value into a variable. 

You can set a property much like a local variable to your script.  

Example 

String Object.Protocol  

The above property can accept a predefined set of string values or can be assigned to a 

variable to retrieve the currently selected value. The default in this case is  FTP .  

You can assign a value to a property as follows:  

Example  

MySite.Protocol =  FTPS   

Upon subsequent connections, the TE will attempt to login using FTP over SSL, rather then 

via FTP, the default attribute for this property.  

Wildcard masks 

Wildcard masks are patterns of special characters used to filter file names. When a wildcard 

mask is matched against a file name, the two patterns are compared, letter by letter, from left 

to right until a mismatch occurs. If all the characters in both patterns compare positively, the 

file name matches the Wildcard Mask. 

U

SING A SCRIPT TO CONNECT TO A REMOTE SITE 

This script connects the TE to the public GlobalSCAPE FTP server and displays the words 

Connected OK in a message box after a successful connection. 

Set MySite= CreateObject("CuteFTPPro.TEConnection") 

MySite.Option ("ThrowError") = False 

MySite.Protocol = "FTP" 

MySite.Host = "ftp.cuteftp.com" 

if cbool(MySite.Connect) then 

MsgBox "Connected OK" 

else 

MsgBox MySite.ErrorDescription 

end if 

MySite.Disconnect 

MySite.Close
