FlexTk

Command Line Tools:        

The FlexTk file management toolkit is capable of scanning disks, network shares and enterprise storage systems, classifying all the existing files and organizing them into a categorized file hierarchy. FlexTk automatically recognizes more than 2000 file types and allows one to browse or export the categorized file hierarchy, perform various actions on specific files or file groups and physically reorganize existing files according to a user-defined list of rules and policies. The FlexTk's built-in file organizing engine allows one to define multiple organizing rules and apply them simultaneously during a single pass through one or more file systems.

In addition to the GUI application, FlexTk Ultimate provides a command line utility allowing one to use all the features of the FlexTk file management toolkit from an OS shell window. The FlexTk command line tool provides power users and system administrators with the ability to automate all the available file management operations and to integrate FlexTk features into batch files and shell scripts. The FlexTk command line tool is located in <ProductDir>/bin directory.
