FtpDLX component is FTP (or, better to say, file-transfer) client component. Not only it provides old fashion FTP protocol, it allows you also to use secured SFTP (Secure-Shell version 2 subsystem, very popular on UNIX), and FTP+SSL protocols as well. Using different protocols is completely transparent for usage. You have same interface and different protocol - just by changing one property! wodFtpDLX also support client certificate authentication if your server allows/requires it. Besides that - it has its own explorer-like window. You can (with no coding at all!) provide your users direct visual interaction with files and directories on the server.
License includes one year of free updates and unlimited lifetime technical support. Each developer must have his own design-time license.
General information
wodFtpDLX is secure FTP client ActiveX component that supports encrypted and non-encrypted FTP access to the servers for transferring files. It supports old, very common, FTP protocol, but also secured FTPS (FTP+SSL) and SFTP (FTP+SSH). No matter what protocol is selected - it is completely transparent for programming. Same methods and same events apply for all protocols.
Together with the component is included Certificate Management Component, you can deal with certificates with ease - assign certificate to be used for client authentication, check validity of remote certificate, etc.,
wodFtpDLX component is developed as two standalone components:
COM object, that should be used when you want to do all file transfer in the background and is not visible on the form, or
GUI ActiveX version that has it's own Explorer-alike window where you can give end users ability to interact directly with the server
Features include
FTP, FTP+SSL with and without encrypted data channel, and SFTP (SSH subsystem) protocols
Certificate authentication where available, or privatekey authentication for SFTP protocol
Internal parsing of received directory listings - get names, sizes, ownerships etc.. directly from our interface, through DirItems collection
Both ASCII and Binary transfer modes supported, no matter if server allows them or not
ListDir and ListNames methods for directory listing
PutFile and GetFile for storing and retrieving files
PutData and GetData for storing and reading data directly from the server
Resume support
Passive and Active data connections for FTP and FTPS protocols
Blocking mode support (only on COM version)
Set of events that notify you about method completition
Large files >4.2gb support
Timeout support
Renaming, creating of directories, deletion of files and directories......
........ and much more. But - in ActiveX GUI version you have also
Explorer-alike window to allow clients full access to files
Shell icons - let icons look just like they are on local drives

Set of events for user interaction
Copy/Paste to and from clipboard

Simple, but powerfull
wodFtpDLX has no intention on providing deepest protocol specific commands (such as STOU, as example). It provides only commands that can apply to all 3 supported protocols. But - when it provides something - it does everything automatically for you. You don't have to think about opening data ports, you don't have to think on sending appropriate commands, setting modes etc.. You need to download file? Call GetFile - that's all. wodFtpDLX will do everything else for you.
As usual, we provide 2 independent versions of this component - you should decide which one you will use. If you need 'silent mode' of the component, you should choose COM object. Just like in our wodSFTP, you get almost the same interface, but support for 3 most popular file transfer protocols - all in one! If you need GUI to interact with users, don't think on creating one yourself - you don't need it. It's already provided here in ActiveX version - check it out!
Can be used also in scripting environments
COM version has support for blocking and non-blocking modes (only non-blocking in ActiveX). This way you can use the component easily in VB (or similar environments) using event-driver programming model, but also in scripting environments (such as ASP) just by setting Blocking = True!
Licensing
wodFtpDLX is royalty free component - distribute it with your product without any requirements for WeOnlyDo! Software. You need to purchase one license per your developer - and that's all!
Your support is fantastic.

Your component works really great. With minor effort I have been able to convert my delphi application...

Just thought you'd like to know that my gateway app with your SMTP Server component held the line against a DDOS attack today...

We have recently completed a large 1200+ location project where reliable Telnet and SSH connectivity was required. wodSSH worked flawlessly and allowed our staff to complete our project ontime and within budget.

May I say how nice it is to work with components so complete and self-explanatory that using them in my application is as instinctive as though I wrote them myself?

...with a minimum of effort as the DLL interface was written with such simplicity...
