The fully self-contained ActiveX DLL at the core of the library is all that developers need to include with their applications. The library also supports all the available ActiveX functionality designed to make a programmers job easier, such as categorized properties, built-in constants and enumerations, context-sensitive F1-help and built-in help strings.

Written entirely with threadsafe code in Visual C++ 6.0 with ATL 3.0, and supporting both the single-threaded and multi-threaded apartment models, the Xceed FTP Library has very low memory requirements and is perfectly suited for use in environments running multiple FTP operations simultaneously. It also runs without any screen output, can create log files and works in the background if necessary.

The library comes with support for almost all of todays 32-bit development languages, including Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, C++Builder, Visual FoxPro and Office suite products.

All Xceed Software products include comprehensive online documentation, free expert technical support, royalty-free distribution and a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Features

ActiveX technology

• A single fully self-contained COM object and ActiveX component written with ATL 3.0

• Instantiate the component dynamically without putting it on a form
• Supports multiple instances running simultaneously
• Optional background processing so your code can continue execution while the Xceed FTP Library is working
• Supports both Unicode and Ansi in one single component. The library automatically uses Unicode API calls for best performance when running on Windows NT.
• Supports notification by Events or by Custom Interface Advising for maximum efficiency
• ActiveX component interface has all constants, enumerations and types built-in. Code completion, property categories, help strings and context-sensitive F1-help fully supported
• Works with all 32-bit development environments that can use ActiveX components, including VB, VC++, Delphi, C++ Builder, VFP, Office, PB, VO, Web scripting languages, ASP and DCOM projects
