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 which 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. You should install all updates for your development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed. The minimum recommended version of Visual Studio is Visual Studio 2010.

This library is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service pack and all critical updates available for your version of the operating system.

This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native 64-bit CPU support requires the 64-bit version of Windows 7 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.
