Mastering the Air Explorer command line opens a world of possibilities for automating your clouds. However, with so many functions available, it is easy to forget the exact syntax of a command or which parameters you can use. To address this, Air Explorer includes a built-in help system. In this article, you will learn how to use the help command to resolve doubts instantly and make the most of the tool’s potential.

Why is the help command useful?

The help command is the starting point for any system administrator or power user working with the CLI (Command Line Interface):

• Command Dictionary: It shows you a complete list of all operations Air Explorer can perform (upload, download, transfer, sync, copy, etc.).
• Real-time Syntax: Forget about searching for manuals online; you can see how to write each command directly in your terminal.
• Feature Discovery: It allows you to learn about advanced parameters you might not have known existed, such as encryption modifiers or filters.

Step 1: Preliminary configuration in Air Explorer

To access help from your console, you must first ensure that command line support is active:

1. Enable CLI support: Open Air Explorer, go to the Options tab, select the General section, and check the “Enable Command Line Support” box.
2. Executable path: Make sure you know where the program is installed (usually in C:\Program Files\AirExplorer) to be able to invoke the AirExplorerCmd.exe file.

Step 2: The “help” command and its syntax

The help instruction is the simplest of all and can be used in two main ways:

A. List all available commands

If you simply want to see what Air Explorer can do, type: AirExplorerCmd help

This will show you a list with commands such as upload, download, transfer, sync, dir, among others.

B. Specific help for a command

If you know what you want to do (for example, upload files) but don’t remember the parameters, type: AirExplorerCmd help [command_name]

Example: AirExplorerCmd help upload

This will return a detailed description, the correct syntax, and a list of all modifiers (such as /O, /R, /S, or /encrypt).

Step 3: Practical query examples

A. Consult synchronization help

If you need to remember how to set up a mirror between two clouds: AirExplorerCmd help sync

B. View help for the listing command

To understand what the /id or /s parameters of the dir command mean: AirExplorerCmd help dir

PRO Tip: If you are writing a complex script in a .bat file, use the help command before starting to validate that the parameter names are correct.

Step 4: Export help to a file

Sometimes it is useful to have the command list handy in a text document. You can dump the Air Explorer help to a file as follows:

1. Open the Command Prompt.
2. Type: AirExplorerCmd help > airexplorer_commands.txt
3. A file named airexplorer_commands.txt will be created with all the official documentation in your current folder.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about the help command

Does the help command require an internet connection? No. The documentation is integrated within the executable, so you can consult it even if you are offline.

Is help available in Spanish in the console? The command line output is usually in English to maintain technical compatibility and system administration standards, but it is very easy to understand thanks to its clear structure.

What should I do if a command from the help doesn’t work for me? Make sure you are using the latest version of Air Explorer. Some advanced command line features are added in the most recent updates.
