What's new in v5.2?

Version number synchronization due to the release of Xceed SFTP for .NET.

Xceed SFTP for .NET has been released. This product lets you incorporate robust file transfer, file access, and file management that uses the SFTP protocol into any .NET or ASP.NET application (.NET 2.0 to .NET 4.5). Ideal for any developer who needs to deliver industry-standard security in applications—a must for many LOB solutions—Xceed SFTP for .NET uses the SSH file transfer protocol (SSH-2) to provide secure FTP, which is distinct from the commonly used FTP or FTPS (FTP over SSL) protocols and which addresses their shortcomings. One of the unique features of the SFTP protocol is that it goes beyond mere file transfers and allows for file access/management capabilities. Xceed SFTP for .NET is powered by Xceed’s FileSystem Core API, which was designed from the ground up as an intuitive file- and folder-based object model. This meshes perfectly with the design of the SFTP protocol, and as a result, including secure remote file operations in software is greatly facilitated for .NET developers. Existing Xceed customers already using Xceed FileSystem-based products will be able to add SFTP to apps in no time at all.
