About Command Line Parameters

Command line parameters can be used to configure the F2P or PC2Me Server when it starts. The parameters are also called switches.

For a list of parameters, see Parameters.

Entering parameters

If you start your F2P or PC2Me Server by clicking a desktop icon, add the the parameters to the end of the command line in the startup icon with at least one blank space between each parameter. For example:

When	Files2Phones Example
Before	C:\PROGRAM FILES\1STWORKS\F2P\BIN\F2P.EXE
After	C:\PROGRAM FILES\1STWORKS\F2P\BIN\F2P.EXE -i3

When	PC2Me Example
Before	C:\PROGRAM FILES\1STWORKS\PC2Me\BIN\P2M.EXE
After	C:\PROGRAM FILES\1STWORKS\PC2Me\BIN\P2M.EXE -i3

If you start your F2P or PC2Me Server from your Windows Start menu, add the parameters to the startup command, as in the previous example.

Note that Microsoft shortcuts limit the total number of characters to 72 characters, including program name, path, and options.

Options marked as DEBUG do not work except in specially prepared versions for debugging purposes.
