Xceed FTP for .NET Compact Framework
Provides a more flexible and object-oriented way of working with files and folders on the FTP server just as easily as if they were local filesystem elements. Based on Xceed’s own powerful FileSystem classes.
Send and receive files, folders or entire directory structures quickly and easily.
Send and receive files to or from disk or from any kind of stream, including memory streams.
Replicate a local directory structure with a remote directory structure on an FTP server and vice-versa.
Operations can be aborted at any time.
Support for asynchronous FTP operations.
Provides a rich set of events to keep your application notified of all FTP activity.
Allows you to verify at any time the exact state of the component, including whether it is connected or not, busy or not, sending, receiving, deleting, etc.
Obtain a detailed listing of files on the FTP server via a collection object or by events.
Rename and delete files on the FTP server.
Resume file transfers from any byte offset.
Provides status report events on a file-by-file basis as well as on the entire operation being performed.
Status reports include various completion percentages, byte counts, file counts, bytes per second, bytes skipped, number of files skipped and more. Displaying a progress bar could not be easier!
Events are triggered for all major operations such as whenever a file is being sent, received, listed, etc.
When sending multiple files and an error occurs, allows you to retry the file, skip it and continue, or abort the entire operation.
Provides complete file information for the current file being processed.
Create filters so you can send or receive only files that fit specific criteria such as file size or date.
Allows you to rename or change filenames and paths before sending.
Automatic logging to memory or to disk.
Use the automatic directory listing parser or create your own custom parser for unknown listing formats and FTP server types. You can do this in two ways - through inheritance or by handling an event.
Set a timeout limit on all operations and have an exception triggered if it is exceeded.
Send a file to an FTP server and have the server give it a unique filename.
Can send files as ASCII or Binary.
Triggers an event if the connection to the FTP server is lost.
Allows you to change the user that is currently logged in without disconnecting.
Built-in tweaks for working with non-standard FTP server types including settable FTP server folder separator character, storage pre-allocation and TYPE command sending.
Specify an FTP server by IP address or host name.
Specify files to send or receive using wildcards.
