Xceed FTP Library Documentation
Welcome

Xceed FTP Library is a high-performance ActiveX control that allows developers to easily add FTP capabilities to their Windows applications. It provides access to the complete functionality of the FTP protocol through the use of simple properties, methods and events, and makes thorough use of Winsock 2 for optimal performance.

Xceed FTP Library is designed to offer maximum flexibility and features while being the easiest to use product of its kind. Sending and receiving one or more files can be accomplished with only a single line of code. Adding a few extra lines will allow you to accomplish everything else – you can even build a full-featured FTP client if you want to. A sample FTP client with fully commented source code is included with the library allowing you to find out how that's done.

The fully self-contained ActiveX DLL at the core of the library is all you need to include with your applications. It has no external dependencies such as MFC DLLs, runtime libraries or other resources. That translates to minimal hassle at distribution time. The library also supports all the available ActiveX functionality designed to make your programming job easier, such as categorized properties, built-in constants and enumerations, context-sensitive F1-help and built-in help strings.

The library comes with support for almost all of today's 32-bit development languages such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, C++Builder, Visual FoxPro, Visual Interdev and Office suite products.

Written entirely with threadsafe code and supporting both the single-threaded and multi-threaded apartment models, Xceed FTP Library has very low memory requirements and is perfectly suited for use in environments running multiple FTP operations simultaneously. It is at home on Active Server Pages, can run in the background, and can be dynamically instantiated for formless use.

We invite you to download the fully functional free trial version of the library and start integrating Xceed FTP Library into one of your existing programs right away. All you really have to do is add the control to a form, set one or two properties, and off you go! Get it at http://www.xceedsoft.com.

The product is available through a subscription that delivers much more than just a perpetual license for versions received during the subscription. You also get a year of great services: expert priority support and access to new versions, new features, and bug fixes, as well as any new products added to the purchased suite during the subscription. Additional years can be added at a discounted price at the time of purchase or before the subscription expires; a new subscription is required after it has expired. Subscriptions are available for the individual control, or for Xceed Ultimate Suite or Xceed Data Manipulation Suite, which both include it.
