Command line interface

Besides using a browser, the Enterprise edition of SynaMan offers a command line version allowing users to upload and download files using scripts. The command line interface (CLI) supports both uploading and downloading files with wildcards.

SynaMan CLI, as the name suggests, is only available as a command line tool. There is no GUI. It is intended for users who want to write scripts for uploading and downloading files to a machine where SynaMan is running.

Prerequisites and Download

The CLI for SynaMan requires Java Runtime installed on the machine. Supported versions are JRE 1.6 or above.
  • Click here to download an EXE file for Windows
  • Click here to download a JAR file for other operating systems.
  • Click here to download a zipped file containing EXE as well as the JAR file.

Usage

Following method is used to run SynaMan CLI 
SynaManCLI.exe <Param1Name> <Param1Value> ... <ParamNName> <ParamNValue>
OR 
java -jar SynaManCLI.jar <Param1Name> <Param1Value> ... <ParamNName> <ParamNValue>


The first example will only work on Windows. The 2nd example will work on any operating system (including Windows, Linux, Mac and UNIX) as long as Java is installed and is in the PATH.
