SocketTools Library Edition Features

• The SocketTools Library Edition includes native Windows libraries that provide an extensive collection of APIs for uploading and downloading files, accessing web-based services, sending and retrieving e-mail messages, executing commands on remote servers, interactive terminal sessions and much more.
• Supported protocols include DNS, FTP, HTTP, ICMP, IMAP4, NNTP, POP3, SMTP, SSH and TELNET. General purpose TCP and UDP client and server support is also included, along with support for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. A single interface provides both synchronous and asynchronous network connections.
• Secure connections are supported using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Shell (SSH) protocols. Security features in the components can be enabled with just a few lines of code and do not require any experience with data encryption or cryptography.
• The SocketTools libraries are native Windows DLLs, compatible with Visual Studio 2015 and prior versions, including Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual Basic 6.0. Both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries are included, with support for C/C++, Visual Basic, Object Pascal, PowerBASIC and several other languages.
• The Library Edition provides a comprehensive API that is very similar in design to the standard Windows API. It uses the same calling convention, and most functions use only integral data types, strings and simple structures, making it easy to use and compatible with a wide variety of development tools.
