The FAOPGP CLS script editor provides an easy method of creating, editing, and saving scripts and command line parameters. Existing scripts can also be opened and edited and scripts can be scheduled to run at a later time and date.
Command line scripts can be as simple or as complex as you desire and are not complex to set up or to run. A script can consist of a single line or multiple lines of command line parameters. The same script file can contain command line parameters to retrieve and decrypt files from an FTP server or to upload newly encrypted files to that server or another FTP server.
A script can also delete the original source (unprotected) files if you wish from the local disk or a remote server. Or it might simply be used to encrypt files in certain folders every night for backup purposes or for securely deleting files stored on the network that are past their retention date.
