ActiveSocket - Ftp and FtpFile Objects

Today, there are many FTP software packages available.
However, most of these software tools are stand-alone packages, without scripting options. ActiveSocket is very well suited for scripting and embedding in applications.

Use the ActiveSocket Ftp object to script the following:

Connect to a remote FTP server;
Log on as an anonymous user, or log on using a login and a password;
Change directory;
Download files (ftp 'get'), ASCII or binary;
Upload files (ftp 'put'), ASCII or binary;

The Ftp object is part of the ActiveSocket component. Overview of all ActiveSocket objects:
