Summary

PowerTCP FTP for ActiveX by Dart Communications

Copy files between your client and any FTP server. PowerTCP FTP for ActiveX can be used on either the client or the server to perform file transfers with only a single line of code. Options are set using simple properties and data files will even spool to memory. Directory lists are captured as objects, so parsing is eliminated. The PowerTCP FTP for ActiveX even includes an MGET method, to download multiple files - even an entire directory tree - with only a single line of code. Now includes .NET wrapper DLL, 9 new VB.NET samples and .NET documentation.

File transfer options are set using simple properties and are automatically sent only when needed, making this control exceptionally efficient AND easy-to-use

Files can be transferred between the server and disk OR memory, making this versatile control a superior performer for advanced applications

Listing property formats listings into properties for file name, size etc., eliminating the need to write and debug parsing code

Not dependent on anything but system WINSOCK services (Wininet.dll not required)
