Install PyroBatchFTP as a Service

If you want to run PyroBatchFTP in the background on a computer, it is possible to install it as a service. To do this, you will need to install a special version of the program, which is available from our website: PyroBatchFTP Server-Edition.

That version, after being installed, PyroBatchFTP Server-Edition will run in the background and will process scheduled tasks, even if there is no user logged on on the computer. When installed this way PyroBatchFTP Server-Edition will appear in the Windows list of services (right click "My Computer" → Manage, Services). To configure its operation, schedule and run scripts, etc. please start the PyroBatchFTP Server-Edition component from the respective program group in the Start Menu.

Alternately you can also install/uninstall start/stop the service using the supplied Service Controller in the PyroBatchFTP Server-Edition program group in the Windows start menu. This should however be only necessary in case of problems, because normally, installing the program will also install and start the service while uninstalling it does stop the service and removes it from the list.

The Install/Uninstall buttons in the PyroBatchFTP Server-Edition Controller put the program into the Windows list of services (or removes it). The Start/Stop buttons apply to the program if it has been successfully installed as a service and starts or stops its operation. (Please note that running as a service the program will run fully in the background and you will see no program window).
