ComponentSpace FTP Component

What's New in ComponentSpace FTP Component?

• ComponentSpace FTP Component is 64 bit, .NET framework 4 and VS 2010 compatible

ComponentSpace FTP Component may be used in any Windows or Web application by adding a reference to the assembly to access the classes in the KeyTech.Ftp namespace.

The FtpClient class allows you to connect to an FTP server and perform directory, file and other operations. This class handles both the command connection and data connections automatically. You may specify whether to use a passive or active data connection or let the class library choose automatically. Optionally, you may receive events tracing each FTP command sent and each reply received. Lengthy operations may be terminated using the Abort command. ComponentSpace FTP Component is 64bit, .NET framework 4 and VS2010 compatible.

Directory related operations include changing to a specified directory, changing to the parent directory, removing a directory, creating a directory, getting the current directory, and listing the contents of the directory. Helper classes perform parsing of raw directory listings into Unix or MS-DOS directory list items.

File related operations include renaming a file, deleting a file, appending to a file, uploading, downloading and restarts. File transfers may either be done in binary or ASCII mode. .NET streams are fully supported. Optionally, you may receive progress events tracking the number of bytes transferred in the current operation.

The FtpWebRequest and FtpWebResponse classes fully support the Microsoft pluggable protocols architecture. Once the FtpWebRequestCreator factory class is registered you can perform FTP file uploads and downloads by specifying an ftp:// URI and using the generic Microsoft WebRequest and WebResponse classes.

All operations may be performed either synchronously (blocking) or asynchronously (non-blocking) using Begin and End style methods. For example, as well as a Download method, there are also BeginDownload and EndDownload methods. For asynchronous calls you may receive completion notification either through an event or a callback method.

All classes that raise events support a SynchronizingObject property. All classes report errors through the FtpException.
