Conserve bandwidth and speed update time for your applications. ActivePatch software development toolkit enables your application to reduce the size of updated files as much as 90%, significantly reducing network load and file download time. Use it to provide automatic updates for your software over the Internet, distribute modified databases over a corporate WAN, or reduce the storage requirements for archived files. ActivePatch does not depend on external tools or complicated batch files and proprietary scripting languages.

Twenty Internet communications components for Visual Studio. SocketTools .NET Edition is a collection of managed code classes, designed to simplify the integration of Internet functionality into applications built using the Visual Studio development platform. The SocketTools .NET Edition is ideal for the Visual Basic or C# developer who requires the ease of use and rapid development features of a component, without the complexities of the native socket classes and without requiring in-depth knowledge of how the various Internet protocols are implemented. SocketTools .NET includes nineteen class libraries and components which can be used to develop applications that meet a wide range of needs. Included are classes for uploading and downloading files, sending and retrieving email messages, remote command execution, terminal emulation and more.

Twenty Internet communication controls for Visual Basic, FoxPro, and PowerBuilder. SocketTools ActiveX Edition gives you the ability to provide client interfaces for application protocols such as file transfer (FTP), simple mail transfer (SMTP), post office (POP), domain name (DNS), hypertext (HTTP), and Telnet. Include extensive Internet communication in your application without being required to learn complex TCP/IP protocols.

.NET and ActiveX components to integrate file transfer functionality into your applications. File Transfer Control combines FTP and HTTP functionality into one component that supports both standard and secure connections. You can implement the standard protocols for sending and receiving files over the Internet and corporate intranets without using multiple controls or writing additional code to interface different components. File Transfer Control has no external dependencies on third-party libraries and can incorporates the standard SSL and TLS security protocols. Included with the package is a comprehensive on-line help file, technical reference and example programs.

Easily upload or download files from a remote host and perform a variety of remote file management functions.SocketTools FTP Toolbox enables you to create, rename and delete files and directories, list files and search for files using wildcards. The component provides both high level methods, such as the ability to transfer multiple files in a single method call, as well as access to lower level remote file I/O methods. SocketTools FTP Toolbox includes a .NET class, ActiveX control (OCX) and library (DLL).

Access web services, transfer files and submit data to server-side scripts using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). SocketTools HTTP Toolbox makes interacting with web services as simple as possible, with a single interface that offers all of the features that you need. Posting XML data, submitting form data using our virtual form methods and simply uploading and downloading files can all be done with just a few lines of code. This component supports both standard and secure connections using SSL and TLS.

Manage your mailboxes remotely using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). SocketTools IMAP Toolbox enables your application to access a mailbox on a mail server, review and search messages, move and and rename mailboxes and perform a variety of other functions. Unlike the Post Office Protocol, IMAP is designed for applications that leave the mail messages on the mail server rather than downloading them and managing them locally. This component supports both standard and secure connections using the SSL and TLS security protocols.

.NET and ActiveX components to send and retrieve email messages. Internet Mail Control provides a comprehensive interface for sending, downloading and managing e-mail messages on a mail server. This single component supports both the Post Office Protocol (POP3) and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4) for accessing e-mail messages on a server, managing them remotely and downloading them to the local system. It also supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) for submitting e-mail messages for delivery, either directly to the recipient, or routed through a relay server.

Twenty Internet communications libraries for C/C++, Delphi, and Visual Basic. Web page, or script. SocketTools Library Edition has over 800 functions which can be used to develop applications that meet a wide range of needs. SocketTools Library Edition covers uploading and downloading files (FTP), sending and retrieving email (SMTP, POP), remote command execution, terminal emulation and more. The Library Edition is ideal for the developer who requires the high performance, minimum resource utilization and flexibility of a lower level interface, without the inherent overhead of ActiveX controls or COM libraries. It includes standard Windows dynamic link libraries (DLLs) which can be used in a wide variety of programming languages such as Visual Studio.NET, Visual C++, Visual Basic and Delphi.
