2. In the Visual Basic IDE, create new project or open existing one.
3. Click on 'Project', then on 'References' menu
4. Find and select 'WeOnlyDo! COM FTP Server Component', and click on 'Ok' to leave the dialog box.
5. Open code editor, and at the top, in (General) section add this code:
 
Dim WithEvents FTP1 As wodFTPDCom
 

6. In Form_Load function initialize the component
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 Set FTP1 = New wodFTPDCom
End Sub
 

7. If you have licensed version of wodFTPServer, then after you initialize the component, set it's LicenseKey property:
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 Set FTP1 = New wodFTPDCom
 FTP1.LicenseKey = "xxxx....xxxx"
End Sub
 

8. To use notifications (optional) instead of events, please refer here.

9. To free up the resources when your program ends, destroy the component from Form_Unload
 
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
 Set FTP1 = Nothing
End Sub
