FileZilla Pro CLI: Output Formats

To facilitate the usage of FileZilla Pro Command Line output with other tools, you can format it using the output parameter:

Use --output prefixed or --output json

• prefixed adds a prefix indicating the message type to each line of the output. Types include Info:, Error:, Prompt:, Data:, Engine:, and Listing:.
  

  

• json formats the output in JSON format, which provides a structured representation of the data. This feature is particularly useful when you need to programmatically parse the output for further processing or automation.
