How to Use the Quit Command

Use the command quit to exit FileZilla Pro Command Line.

FileZilla Pro Command Line returns an exit code to the calling process (usually the operating system shell). If the error flag (see Error Handling) is set the exit code is 0, otherwise is 1.

Also, the quit command can take a parameter to set the exit code that will be returned:

    quit <exit code>

The exit code can be read by inspecting the following variables:

  • On the command prompt (CMD.EXE), inspect the environment variable %ERRORLEVEL%
  • On PowerShell, inspect the variable $LastExitCode.

Example

See the example below. The script sets the error handling to exit in case of error:

# upload.fzs

connect ftp://user:password@example.net

set cli.error_handling exit

put this_file_doesnt_exist.pdf

quit

and the batch file that calls it checks the exit code:

REM run.bat
REM Batch file running FileZilla Pro CLI

“C:\Program Files\FileZilla Pro CLI\fzcli.exe” --script upload.fzs

REM Check the exit code
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 (

    echo Transfer succeeded

) ELSE IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 1 (

    echo Transfer failed

)
