The SocketTools Scripting Edition includes COM components (DLLs)
which can be used in a wide variety of scripting languages such as
VBScript, JScript and PHP. In addition, the Scripting Edition
components can also be used with any language that supports the use
of COM objects, such as Visual Basic 6.0, Visual Basic.NET, Visual
C++ and Visual C#. The Scripting Edition is ideal for the developer
who requires the flexibility, ease of use and rapid development
features of a component designed specifically for client and
server-side scripting. The SocketTools Scripting Edition consists
of fourteen core networking components which can be used to develop
applications that meet a wide range of needs. SocketTools covers it
all, including uploading and downloading files, remote file
management, sending and retrieving email, remote command execution
and much more.
The SocketTools Secure Scripting Edition also includes support
for the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Transport
Security Layer (TLS) and Secure Shell (SSH) protocols which are
used to ensure that data exchanged between the local system and a
remote host is secure and encrypted. The Secure Editions implement
the major secure protocols such as HTTPS, FTPS, SFTP, SMTPS, POP3S,
IMAPS and more. Your data is protected by industrial strength
128-bit encryption, with full support for client certificates. And
there's no need for you to understand the details of certificate
management, data encryption or how the security protocols work. All
it takes is a few lines of code to enable the security features,
and SocketTools handles the rest!
