Bitsadmin.exe is a command-line tool. Bitsadmin.exe allows administrators to manage the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), a background file transfer service and queue manager. Requests to BITS are submitted by an application and the files can be transferred in a throttled manner such that the interactive user is not affected by the bandwidth consumed. Requests are placed in a queue until the files are transferred, at which time the requesting application is invoked and notified of the completion.

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 [type] [/PRIORITY priority] [/ACLFLAGS flags]

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, may only be a name and not a GUID.

/CREATE [type] Creates a job

[type] may be /DOWNLOAD, /UPLOAD, or /UPLOAD-REPLY; default is download

Unlike most commands, may only be a name and not a GUID.

/INFO [/VERBOSE] Displays information about the job

/ADDFILE Adds a file to the job

/ADDFILESET Adds multiple files to the job

Each line of 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

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

All files whose URL begins with are changed to use

Note that BITS currently supports HTTP/HTTPS downloads and uploads.

It also supports UNC paths and file: // paths as URLS

/SETNOTIFYCMDLINE [program_parameters]

Sets a program to execute for notification, and optionally parameters.

The program name and parameters can be NULL.

IMPORTANT: if parameters are non-NULL, then the program name should be the

first parameter.
