The executable and argument paths differ for ASPX and PHP files.

None of these files need to be stored on your local computer. They are all stored on your hosting account.

ASPX Files

Executable C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Argument -c "(new-object system.net.webclient).downloadstring('http://[domain.tld]\[path]\[file_name]')"

PHP Files

Type Path
Executable C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP54\php-cgi.exe

The examples we provide use the following variables:
