from a normal windows console (DOS box). Command line arguments supplied to FTCon.exe are
passed along to the FileTransfer 2 program which then runs from the system tray.
FTCon is intended for use only by advanced programmers.

APW File Transfer Arguments
AXW File Transfer Arguments
FTL File Transfer Arguments
Single File Transfer Arguments
• "text"
Quoted text indicates a double quoted argument.
• [ ]
Brackets indicate the item is optional.
• -option
Options start with a dash or double-dash (GNU style).
• --option
The emboldened letter is the acceptable abbreviated form.
Case is not relevant.
Options are always optional so they are not bracketed (see above).
If the option takes an argument, then the keyword is immediately followed by an equals
sign (`=') and the argument's value.
A pipe ( | )between two or more options indicates a boolean OR relationship.
"FileName" - Fully qualified file name of the APW within quotes.
"Project Id" – If not supplied, all files in the workspace are transferred. Otherwise, this
must be the identifier of a project. The first matching project is transferred.
"System Id" - If not supplied, all systems in the project are transferred. Otherwise, this
must be the identifier of a system. The first matching system is transferred.
ftcon.exe "test.apw" Send the entire workspace contained in test.apw.
ftcon.exe "test.apw" "proj1" Sends the project named "proj1" contained in test.apw.
ftcon.exe "test.apw" "proj1" "sys1" Sends the system named "sys1" within "proj1"
