4.2 Command Line parameters

BPFtp Server allows you to add the following command line parameters:

-h: put the server into tray on startup
-s: autostart the server
-p:21: specify ftp port (21 here)
-service: tell the server it is running as a system service (see 'Install as system service' first).
-nouserstats: disable saving account stats.
-nousertransfers: disable user upload & download reports (no saving to file or monitoring in server activity).

Command lines switches that can be specified when an instance is running :

    -reload  : reload user accounts (users.ini)
    -offline : put the server offline
    -online  : put the server online
    -exit    : application shutdown
    -open    : open the server to new connection if it was closed
    -close   : close the server from new connection
    -stat    : takes the file "stat.mdl" from the server installation directory which contains tags (%CNOW ...) and produces a file "stat.top" containing tags replaced by their value
    -startlogging : start logging to file
    -stoplogging  : stop logging to file
    -kickall      : disconnect all users currently connected to the server

To add them simply right-click on the BPFTP-icon on your desktop and choose properties -> shortcut. In the target box append the parameters you want to use. For example: 'c:\Program Files\BPFTP Server\BPFTPSrv.exe -h' (without the quotes).
