Lacking Service Controls over Command Line

Description (last modified by Tim Kosse)

"FileZilla Server.exe" /active
is not supported.

there are almost no controls over command line
(except /start and /stop),
almost everything must be done through GUI,
and this makes automatic control impossible

as we all know,
FileZilla do have an auto-start option.
but things here is,
the FileZilla Service can be auto-started,
it's not "Active"!

i.e. the Service process is running,
but it won't automatically listen on port 21
(or whatever port in settings)
thus, you have to click "Active" on FileZilla Server Interface every-time after reboot
further more,
I can't find a command line or option to "Active" server automatically

this really makes remote-management suffer!
how can we "click" Active within a .bat script?
and connect to service from localhost (127.0.0.1) still needs authentication, makes it more difficult to develop a TCP plugin to send controls to the service
(not everyone is an expert and have the patience to read all the source code just for an auto-Active feature, isn't it?)

my suggestion is to add more command line support,
at least:
"FileZilla Server.exe" /active
should be supported to Active server automatically within a .bat script
