The File Transfer control uses this basic model for file transfer:

1. Connect to the server using the Connect method.
2. Upload and/or download one or more files using PutFile or GetFile.
3. Disconnect from the server using the Disconnect method.

The File Transfer control has implemented this model both explicitly in multiple steps, as well as implicitly when using a URL. In addition, wild-carded multiple file transfers are supported for FTP. A developer may choose whichever approach best suits his application.

Redirection of download requests for HTTP is supported silently, provided that the server supplies sufficient information to support the redirection.
