SMTP Server Uses Server and Service Controls to implement a Mail Server

Character Generator Uses Server and Service Controls to generate a continuous stream of characters

Discard Server Uses Server and Service Controls to receive data without doing anything else

Echo Server Uses the Server and Service Controls to demonstrate an Echo Server that can be installed as an NT Service

DNS Proxy - A program that could be used to intercept DNS requests and perform actions based on the request (in this case a simple log file) before supplying the response to the requestor

Flash Server - Demonstrates how to send messages to a (Macromedia) Flash Client using Flash 5's XMLSocket Object

Proxy Server - Demonstrates how to use PowerTCP to perform the functions of several of the most common proxy types

Benefits & Features:

Simple construction of service applications.

No "housekeeping" management required.

"files" & "listings" transfer automatically with FtpServer Control

Server Control eliminates your management of connections, greatly reducing the code you have to write and debug.

FtpServer Control provides the necessary flexibility needed to customize your site...extend FTP to respond to additional site commands

Server Control automatically cleans up when closed under harsh conditions, protecting your application and the operating system from unexpected user actions

Server Control operates on a single thread, eliminating the overhead associated with multi-threaded applications.

Service Control hooks directly into the NT Service Manager using WIN32 calls

What's New V3.1?

The latest edition of Server for ActiveX includes some substantial changes to the FTPServer control, explicitly based on customer feedback. The FTPServer control will now raise data command Events not only when a command is received (such as a Store command raising the Store Event), but will also raise the Event a second time when the command completes. To maintain backwards compatibility there is an EndEvent Property, so users can choose whether to implement the secondary Event mechanism. To verify whether an Event is being raised for for the first or second time, the Request Object now has a Completed Property. When this Property is True, the Event is being raised to signal the completion of an FTP command. Finally, the Request Object now also includes a Cancel Method, allowing users to easily cancel an activity in an FTP Server application and send the proper response back to a client. This version of Server for ActiveX now also includes 3 VB.NET samples for the Echo Server application, the FTP Server application, and the Flash Server application

What's New V3.0?

Includes a DNS Server Control

Includes a DNS Client Control

Provides ability to easily manage Server load balancing

Delivers the capability to simply track and manage Client requests

Supplies functionality to monitor and avert users’ internet visits

Allows for easy data transmission

Includes useful proxy samples

This latest version of Server for ActiveX now provides programmers with even greater capabilities to create custom server applications. It includes a unique DNS Server Control that allows you to easily manage a server burden by building a load balancing system. This system redirects traffic from one server to another by returning the server IP address to the client that submitted a DNS resolution request.

Additionally, PowerTCP Server for ActiveX now ships with a DNS (client) Control. This used in conjunction with the DNS Server Control allows DNS requests to be redirected to another DNS Server. Another benefit of this new version is the ability it provides you to create a proxy for filtering and tracking requests. With PowerTCP Server for ActiveX you have the ability to monitor websites users have visited, track the number of visits, and even control access to specific websites.

Creating a Web page using flash? With this new version of PowerTCP Server for ActiveX you have a demonstration of how to transfer data dynamically by creating a Flash Server to send data to a Flash Client in real time.

Samples are included in this new version to help you see its capabilities. These samples include a DNS Proxy sample, a Proxy Server sample, and a Flash Server sample.
