How can I distribute Robo-FTP to multiple PCs without running the installer?

The easiest way to install Robo-FTP is to directly run the installer executable distributed on our web site and on CD. By default, the installer displays a UI with several prompts to guide you through installing the software on your system.

However, there are cases where it is not convenient to install it this way. For example, you may wish to install Robo-FTP unattended or possibly through a batch job. The Robo-FTP installer executable provides a number of command-line options that allow you to more finely control the installation process, in order to achieve these and other aims.

The /quiet option prevents the display of any UI, and automatically proceeds through the installation without further user input. The /passive option automatically proceeds through the installation but does display the UI while doing so. The /log LOGFILE option allows you to record a log of the installation process, which you can consult if the installation fails for any reason. The /uninstall option instructs the executable to uninstall Robo-FTP if it is already installed on your computer.

You can see a list of all options offered by the installer along with a description of their effects by running it with the /help option, as follows:

    robo-ftp3-10-11.exe /help
