Arguments

As mentioned on the Installation page, File Watcher doesn't need to be installed, but it can run as a service. Regardless of how File Watcher is run, there are several command line arguments you can provide that allows you to configure the application.

Command Line Arguments

There are a few command line arguments that can be used with fw.exe. They are described below:

Argument	Description
-f, --folder <folder>	The folder containing the configuration XML file.
-cf, --configFile <config file>	The name of the configuration XML file.
--version	Version information.
-?, -h, --help	Show the help and usage information.

If no arguments are specified, File Watcher will look for config.xml in the current folder for the settings to use.
