About command-line tools configuration files

The command-line tools look for flashaccesstools.properties in the directory in which you run the tools. However, you can use the -c option when you run a command-line tool to specify a different location for the default flashaccesstools.properties. You can also use -c to specify a different configuration file.

The command-line tools configuration files use the Java property file format, for which the following rules apply:

• Escape backslashes with an additional backslash.

  For example, on a Windows machine, to specify the C:\credentials.pfx file, you need to enter it as C:\credentials.pfx or C:/credentials.pfx. To specify a file on a Windows network server, you need to enter \\\\server\\folder\\filename.pfx

• Include only Latin-1 characters.

  To use non-Latin-1 characters, you need to use the appropriate Unicode escape sequence. You can optionally apply the native2ascii tool (included with Java) to your configuration file entries.
