FTP Client Component
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.

Expected time savings: 12 man-months
Expected time savings is the time that, based on our experience, would take a skilled developer with good understanding of TCP/IP networking and very well versed in C/C++, to develop this control. This time can be used as a guideline of the cost involved if you choose to develop it yourself or have someone else develop it for you.
Source Code Available
Get the source code for total control over your application. To those interested in customizing this FTP component to meet very specific needs, we offer the source code priced to beat the budget you would need to achieve the same quality level if you tried to develop it yourself.
