The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the standard protocol for copying files to and from remote machines. FTP uses separate command and data connections. The Protocol Interpreter (PI) implements the FTP protocol itself, while the Data Transfer Process (DTP) actually performs data transfer. The FTP protocol and the data transfer use entirely separate TCP sessions.
With the Distinct FTP client component, you will quickly and securely incorporate automated, timed file transfers, or transfer on demand, capabilities into any application. For example an application could automatically retrieve customer information from the server when you enter a customer name or identification number. The Distinct FTP client includes the ability to move entire subtrees of data and to list these. Distinct also includes support for passive mode. Firewall proxy (SOCKS, FTP) support is embedded in this component to enable its use across intranet firewalls.
Parsing of directory structures of the various FTP servers is one of the most time consuming portions of writing your FTP Client. Distinct's FTP ActiveX 'automatically' handles this for you, ensuring accurate directory parsing. There is no need for you to research and implement this complex task.
RFC Compliance
All Distinct custom controls are implemented following current RFCs. The Distinct FTP client component is compliant with RFC 959 and 1123.
