wodFtpDLX ActiveX component

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

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
