KCommon FTP component enables .NET developers to create applications for FTP file transfer. It offers both synchronous and asynchronous transfer modes, supports passive mode but not the active one. It is developed in C# but doesn't support proxies.
If you're a developer who needs access to File Transfer Protocol (FTP) services within your .NET Framework class library, you know that Microsoft doesn't offer any classes that will allow you to do so easily. Fortunately, KCommon's FTP component can solve this problem for you.
With KCommon, you'll be able to build both Windows Forms and ASP.NET (Web Forms) applications that enable users to send or receive single or multiple files using the FTP protocol. The component offers support for both synchronous and asynchronous transfers, and you can even use a callback or event to manage asynchronous transfers.
Another key advantage of the KCommon FTP component is that it supports passive mode, which is generally considered more secure than active mode. When data flow is initiated by the FTP client (as it is in passive mode), the client computer benefits from improved security, since it doesn't need to deal with data flow initiated by the server.
There are a few limitations to be aware of, however. For example, KCommon doesn't support active mode, which may cause issues with certain firewalls. Additionally, the FTP component is written in C# and not marked as CLS compliant. Finally, it doesn't support proxy servers, which may be a dealbreaker for some developers.
Overall, if you're looking for a reliable, easy-to-use way to integrate FTP functionality into your .NET-based applications, KCommon's FTP component is definitely worth considering. Just be sure to keep its limitations in mind when making your decision.
