Instantiate the component dynamically without putting it on a form
Supports multiple instances running simultaneously
Optional background processing so your code can continue execution while the Xceed FTP Library is working
Supports both Unicode and Ansi in one single control. The library automatically uses Unicode API calls for best performance when running on Windows NT, 2000 or XP.
Supports notification by Events or by Custom Interface Advising for maximum efficiency
ActiveX control interface has all constants, enumerations and types built-in. Code completion, property categories, help strings and context-sensitive F1-help fully supported
Works with all 32-bit development environments that can use ActiveX controls, including VB, VC++, Delphi, C++ Builder, VFP, Office, PB, VO, Web scripting languages, ASP and DCOM projects
RFC 959, 1123 and 1579 compliant
Fully uses Winsock-2 optimizations for best performance

Streaming support. Send or receive data as it becomes available
Rename or change file paths as they are being sent or received
Automatic logging of FTP activity
Operations can be aborted at any time
Provides status report events on a file-by-file basis as well as on the entire operation being performed, with various percentages, byte and file counts. Easily add any kind of progress bar to your application.

Notifies your application when and why a specific file cannot be processed.
Notifies your application when a file being received is about to overwrite an existing file. Your application can then choose to overwrite it or skip it.

Your application receives info such as the amount of time a file took to transfer, the achieved transfer rate, and other info as it becomes available.
Create your own custom filters in order to process or exclude files based on size or date
Automatic full yield so other applications do not halt during processing.
Specify FTP server as IP address or host name
Allows sending files that are currently open for write operations by other processes
Supports long filenames, UNC paths and Unicode filenames
