Send Report E-mail When a Scheduled Task Ends
You can have TurboFTP send you a report through Email upon completion of each scheduled task, whether it failed or succeeded. This feature is useful, for example, if you are running a scheduled task on a computer in your office over the weekend, and you want to know how it is going on while you are away from your office.
Select menu [Tools | E-mail Notification] to access the "Email Notification" configuration dialog.
