CONTINUE

Syntax: continue [on | off]

FTP Command Index

The CONTINUEcommand instructs Reflection FTP to ignore errors that occur during a wildcard file transfer initiated at the FTP command line. File transfer proceed as though no error occurred, until all files satisfying the wildcard specification have been transferred.

CONTINUEwith no arguments tells Reflection FTP to ignore an error in the next MGET or MPUT command only.

The CONTINUEcommand only applies to the series of commands that comprise an MGET or MPUTblock (such as LIST, GET, PUT, CD). If an error is encountered in any of the commands in the series, the script will stop after it finishes the complete MGETor MPUTcommand series. To allow the script to process further commands, change SET-ABORT-ON-ERROR to NO.

The CONTINUEcommand does not apply to drag-and-drop file operations.

on

off

Example
