The File Transfer control has properties and methods which can be used for two general functions: the transfer of files between a local machine and a remote machine on which an file or web server is running, and the management of remote files on an FTP server. The interface is designed to be simple and intuitive, yet flexible enough to handle a wide variety of development needs. The developer may choose to manage details of a connection to a server and subsequent file transfers explicitly, or may simply supply a URL in the format that would be acceptable to a browser. Multiple file transfers using wildcards are also supported with the File Transfer Protocol. The file management functions that are available while connected to an FTP server include obtaining lists of files and directories, creating directories, changing directories, removing directories and renaming and deleting files.
