FTP Client Engine for Visual Basic

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a widely used standard protocol for transferring files between two hosts connected to a network. The transfer usually takes place over a TCP based network such as Internet. But to transfer these files, the network terminal should have an FTP client engine which ensures compatibility of the system with this kind of file sharing. If you are a programmer and want to design such a client application, then you need a complete library like FTP Client Engine for Visual Basic v.3.1 for developing an application which can provide the user flexibility and ease in accessing, as well as for sharing files using this protocol.

FTP Client Engine for Visual Basic by MarshallSoft Computing is a shareware FTP client engine application designing tool for the Visual Basic programming platform. This client library provides simple Application Programming Interface for writing programs that can easily connect with an FTP server and access the contents and directory of the remote file hosting server. The program provides a detailed list of files on a server and the mode of file transfer can be specified as either binary or ASCII mode with wildcard support for downloading files locally on the system. The application comes with full set of features like pausing/resuming downloads, change the file names of downloaded and uploaded files, progress bar for the transfer, simultaneous transfer support for multiple files and a seamless support for a number of proxy servers.
