CrushClient Documentation
#

A leading "L" character instructs the client to apply the command to the local client versus to the remote client. lls would sit your current local folder, lcd changes the local folder. Only the file transfer commands do not have an "L" version. (put, get, diffput, diffget) If a path being references has a space in it, the path must be quoted. Example: put "some file.txt" "/some folder/my file.txt". Backslash quote escaping is permitted as well.

java -jar CrushTunnel.jar
java -jar CrushTunnel.jar https://demo:demo@crushftp.com/demo/
java -jar CrushTunnel.jar https://demo:demo@crushftp.com/demo/ file://c:/temp/
java -jar CrushTunnel.jar script my_commands.txt

Different ways to start CrushClient. If started with a script, no input will be taken, all input will be read line by line from the script as if you were physically typing it. Don't forget the quit command at the end or the client will wait indefinitely for more input... A script is typically ended with two lines. wait, then quit.

connect url
lconnect url

Example: http://user:pass@domain.com:port/path/ or https://crushftp.com/ or https://crushftp.com/demo/ The url must end with a slash. User and pass is optional in the URL, you will be prompted for them if omitted.

disconnect
ldisconnect

Disconnects from the currently connected client, for use when you want to change what client your connected with.

put /local/file/path [remote file path]
reput /local/file/path [remote file path]
appe /local/file/path [remote file path]

Transfers file/directory from local client to remote client. Example: put test.txt or put test.txt test_remote.txt or put /folder/test.txt file.txt or put /folder/test.txt /remote/test.txt
reput will resume the put based on the size of the remote item.
appe will start appending the current file to the target file.

diffput

Similar to the put command, but first calculates the differences between the files and then transfers just those differences. Remote side must be a CrushFTP server.

get /remote/file/path [local file path]
reget /remote/file/path [local file path]

Transfers file/directory from remote client to local client. Example: get test.txt or get test.txt test_local.txt or get /folder/test.txt file.txt or get /folder/test.txt /local/test.txt
reget will resume the download based on the target file's size.

diffget

Similar to the get command, but first calculates the differences between the files and then transfers just those differences. Remote side must be a CrushFTP server.
