Overview

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) library provides a comprehensive API which supports both high level operations, such as uploading or downloading files, as well as a collection of lower-level file I/O functions. In addition to file transfers, an application can create, rename and delete files and directories, search for files using wildcards and perform other common file management functions.

Files can be stored on the local file system or in memory, depending on the needs of your application and multiple file transfers be performed using a single function call. The library can also be used to manage files on the server and supports many of the common protocol extensions that can be used to access the remote file system. It understands a number of different directory listing formats, including those typically used with UNIX and Linux based systems, Windows server platforms, NetWare servers and VMS systems.

This library supports active and passive mode file transfers, firewall compatibility options, proxy servers and secure file transfers using the standard SSL/TLS and SFTP protocols. Secure file transfers support implicit and explicit SSL sessions, client certificates and up to 256-bit AES encryption.

Requirements

The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with any programming language that supports calling functions exported from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual C++ 6.0 it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed.

This library is supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. If you are using Windows XP, it is required that you have Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed. It is recommended that all service packs and critical updates to the Windows operating system be installed.

This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native 64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 or later versions of the Windows operating system.

Distribution

When you distribute your application that uses this library, it is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your application executable. If you install the library into a shared location on the system, it is important that you distribute the correct version for the target platform and it should be registered as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library, not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM registration.
