CuteFTP Professional User s Guide 

Description 

Use the Recursive property to set or retrieve the value that determines whether or not 

subfolders will be included in a transfer task.  This property is used often in synchronization 

scripts.   

Syntax 

Bool Object.Recursive 

Parameters 

"True"  Include subfolders 

Do not include 

"False"  subfolders 

Example 

Mysite.Recursive = "True" 

Setting or retrieving other settings 

Description 

Use the Option property to set or retrieve various settings, such as Auto rename, include 

folder names when filtering, cache invalidation, error handling, cleaning up of asynchronous 

tasks, and to auto close prompts.  

Syntax 

String Object.Option("[option name]") = true | false 

Parameters 

"ThrowError" 

(defaults to True)   TE COM will call AtlReportError (showing a 

VB runtime error message box) on 

connection/transfer/IO/other error which will terminate script 

execution. If set to False, then if some transfer method fails the 

script will continue to the next command. 

"AutoRename" 

(defaults to False)   The same as the AutoRename property. 

"CleanupAsync" 

(defaults to True)   All task IDs accumulated by previous Async 

methods will be lost. If set to False, all task IDs will be added to 

the ones created by previous Async methods. 

"InvalidateCache" 

(defaults to True)   Remove cached file (containing listings) 

before uploading, downloading, renaming or deleting files. If 

false, then don t remove cached listing. You can obtain the 

specific file information when needed by using one of the file 

property methods. InvalidateCache optimizes LIST traffic. 

"FilterDirs" 

(defaults to True)   Apply filters to folder names. If set to False, 

then don t apply. 

 AutoCloseMethod   (default to 0)  1   auto accept, 2   auto reject, 0   Don t accept 

(default). This handles hidden prompts (such as SSL Accept Cert 

Prompt when running a script while not logged in).
