Automating Tasks Using Quick Script Editor

Rather than create FTP scripts (.ebs files) based on the Hummingbird Basic programming language, you can use the Quick Script Editor, which provides a graphical environment in which to create and modify FTP scripts (.qsf files).

Using Quick Script Editor, you can:

• transfer files and directory trees
• create pop-up messages
• print files
• change transfer modes
• control execution flow of Quick Script commands

To create an FTP Quick Script:

1. In Hummingbird Neighborhood, click Quick Script Editor on the Hummingbird menu. Quick Script Editor opens.
2. On the File menu of Quick Script Editor, click New. The Quick Script Type dialog box opens.
3. Select FTP and click OK.

For information on how to work with Quick Scripts, refer to the Quick Script Editor Help.
