The ATTACH (or FILE) command allows you to attach a single or multiple files to an email message. A file from the local disk can be attached using a relative or absolute path. Files from a network share can be attached using a full or absolute path.
The Command Line Email utility provides an easy way to send email with attachments from the Command prompt (cmd.exe). Advanced file mask and wildcard support allows you to define attachments in a very handy and simple manner. It is possible to attach a whole folder or just a single document.
Command syntax
- febootimail -ATTACH image.jpg
- febootimail -ATTACH *.doc -ATTACH Report-2021-??-??.xls
- febootimail -FILE document.docx -FILE "my reports\sales.xlsx"
- febootimail -FILE "C:\my files\presentation.pdf"
- febootimail -FILE "image001.jpg | image002.jpg | image003.jpg"
Multiple attachments can be added to the email, by repeating the ATTACH argument followed by a filename. Alternatively, file names can be specified separated with a pipe symbol (see the example above).
It is advised to always use quotes around filenames. If a filename contains spaces, the quotes are mandatory. However, simple filenames may be specified without quote characters.
febootimail -SERVER smtp.example.net -FROM ed@example.net -TO carter@example.com -ATTACH "C:\My Docs\Presentation.pptx" -ATTACH "notes.doc" -TEXT "Sending out the presentation and notes as mail attachments" Related commands
