Hey guys,

We have requirement to run BeyondComparer from the client, ( our intranet application is developed on asp.net web forms ), while I can run the Beyond Comparer using WSH, I don't see the way, how can I pass ftp address to it. Anybody can help me out ?

Thanks beforehand,

Hello,

Are you running Beyond Compare script (from the command line) using Windows Script Host?
For example: bcompare.exe "@c:\bcscript.txt" ?

You can pass additional parameters along the command line, such as:
bcompare.exe "@c:\bcscript.txt" "ftp://ip/folder/" "c:\folder\"

then in the bcscript.txt, refer to them by %1, %2, %3, etc.
load %2 %1
expand all
folder-report layout:side-by-side output-to:"c:\bcreport.txt"

We have detailed documentation about this in the Help file, in the Using Beyond Compare -> Automating with Script (top level chapter).

Please let us know if you have any questions.
