BITSADMIN version 3.0
BITS administration utility.
(C) Copyright Microsoft Corp.

Invalid command
USAGE: BITSADMIN [/RAWRETURN] [/WRAP | /NOWRAP] command
The following commands are available:

/HELP           Prints this help 
/?              Prints this help 
/UTIL /?        Prints the list of utilities commands 
/PEERCACHING /?   Prints the list of commands to manage Peercaching
/CACHE /?       Prints the list of cache management commands 
/PEERS /?       Prints the list of peer management commands

/LIST    [/ALLUSERS] [/VERBOSE]     List the jobs
/MONITOR [/ALLUSERS] [/REFRESH sec] Monitors the copy manager
/RESET   [/ALLUSERS]                Deletes all jobs in the manager

/TRANSFER <job name> [type] [/PRIORITY priority] [/ACLFLAGS flags] [/DYNAMIC] 
          remote_url local_name
    Transfers one of more files.
    [type] may be /DOWNLOAD or /UPLOAD; default is download
    Multiple URL/file pairs may be specified.
    Unlike most commands, <job name> may only be a name and not a GUID.
    /DYNAMIC configures the job with BITS_JOB_PROPERTY_DYNAMIC_CONTENT, which relaxes the server-side requirements.

/CREATE [type] <job name>               Creates a job
    [type] may be /DOWNLOAD, /UPLOAD, or /UPLOAD-REPLY; default is download
    Unlike most commands, <job name> may only be a name and not a GUID.

/INFO <job> [/VERBOSE]                   Displays information about the job
/ADDFILE <job> <remote_url> <local_name> Adds a file to the job
/ADDFILESET <job> <textfile>             Adds multiple files to the job
   Each line of <textfile> lists a file's remote name and local name, separated
   by spaces.  A line beginning with '#' is treated as a comment.
   Once the file set is read into memory, the contents are added to the job.

/ADDFILEWITHRANGES  <job> <remote_url> <local_name range_list>
   Like /ADDFILE, but BITS will read only selected byte ranges of the URL.
   range_list is a comma-delimited series of offset and length pairs.
   For example,

       0:100,2000:100,5000:eof

   instructs BITS to read 100 bytes starting at offset zero, 100 bytes starting
   at offset 2000, and the remainder of the URL starting at offset 5000.

/REPLACEREMOTEPREFIX <job> <old_prefix> <new_prefix>
    All files whose URL begins with <old_prefix> are changed to use <new_prefix>

Note that BITS currently supports HTTP/HTTPS downloads and uploads.
It also supports UNC paths and file:// paths as URLS

/LISTFILES <job>                     Lists the files in the job
/SUSPEND <job>                       Suspends the job
/RESUME <job>                        Resumes the job
/CANCEL <job>                        Cancels the job
/COMPLETE <job>                      Completes the job

The following options control peercaching of a particular job:

/SETPEERCACHINGFLAGS  <job> <value>   
    Sets the flags for the job's peercaching behavior.
    The value is an unsigned integer with the following interpretation for the bits in the binary representation.

/GETPEERCACHINGFLAGS  <job>               
    Reports the flags for the job's peercaching behavior.

The following options are valid for UPLOAD-REPLY jobs only:

/GETREPLYFILENAME <job>        Gets the path of the file containing the server reply
/SETREPLYFILENAME <job> <path> Sets the path of the file containing the server reply
/GETREPLYPROGRESS <job>        Gets the size and progress of the server reply

/SETHELPERTOKEN <job>          Sets the current command prompt's primary token as a job's helper token
/GETHELPERTOKENSID <job>       Reports the user account SID of a job's helper token, if one is set

/SETHELPERTOKENFLAGS <job> <flags> 
    Sets the helper token usage flags for a job. Possible values are:
        1 - The helper token is used when accessing the local filesystem.
        2 - The helper token is used when accessing the network.
        3 - The helper token is used when accessing both the local filesystem and the network.

/GETHELPERTOKENFLAGS <job> 
    Reports a job's helper token usage flags.

/GETPEERSTATS <job> <file-index> 
    <file-index> starts from 0 
    Reports statistics about the amount of data downloaded from peers and origin servers for a specific file within a job.

The following options can be placed before the command:
/RAWRETURN                     Return data more suitable for parsing
/WRAP                          Wrap output around console (default)
/NOWRAP                        Don't wrap output around console

The /RAWRETURN option strips new line characters and formatting.
It is recognized by the /CREATE and /GET* commands.

Commands that take a <job> parameter will accept either a job name or a job ID
GUID inside braces.  BITSADMIN reports an error if a name is ambiguous.

Bitsadmin is a command-line tool used to create, download or upload jobs, and to monitor their progress. The bitsadmin tool uses switches to identify the work to perform. You can call bitsadmin /? or bitsadmin /help to get a list of switches.

Most switches require a <job> parameter, which you set to the job’s display name, or GUID. A job’s display name doesn’t have to be unique. The /create and /list switches return a job’s GUID.

By default, you can access information about your own jobs. To access information for another user’s jobs, you must have administrator privileges. If the job was created in an elevated state, then you must run bitsadmin from an elevated window; otherwise, you’ll have read-only access to the job.

Many of the switches correspond to methods in the BITS interfaces. For additional details that may be relevant to using a switch, see the corresponding method.

Use the following switches to create a job, set and retrieve the properties of a job, and monitor the status of a job. For examples that show how to use some of these switches to perform tasks, see bitsadmin examples.
