Recording a macro

CuteFTP Professional can record and playback entire sessions using the powerful macro record/playback tool. Sessions are recorded in Visual Basic Script and take advantage of CuteFTP's COM exposed transfer engine (TE) interface.

To start recording a macro

1. From the menu, choose Tools > Macros and Scripting > Record > Start Recording. 

2. Connect to your site and perform the tasks you want to record. 

3. When you are finished recording the macro click Tools > Macros and Scripting > Record > Stop Recording.

4. Enter a name for the macro in the Filename box and select Save.

Configuration notes

The macro recorder can record most events supported by the CuteFTP Professional's TE COM interface:

• Connect (FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTPS) including all parameters (OTP, CCC, AUTH_TLS, etc.)

• Disconnect

• Upload

• Download

• Site to Site Transfer

• Synchronize

• URL Transfer

• Create Local Folder

• Create Remote Folder

• Rename Local Folder

• Rename Remote Folder

• Remove Local Folder

• Remove Local Folder

• Raw FTP Command

Note:

The macro recorder uses all defined parameters set in the CuteFTP interface for Socks and Proxy information. Therefore, there is no need to add "UseProxy" to the resulting script (macro) that is created.
