Your application may be dealing with all different types of data files. These could be stock lists, orders, images; pretty much anything your application can store. But consider the need to transfer these files from your device to your server. In most cases you will most likely want to use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) since it’s been well established since 1985 and still going strong.
The Sapphire FTP Utility gives you the ability to add file transfers and directory management with an FTP server to your application. The utility is fully compatible with eVB, VB.NET, C#, Satellite Forms and Microsoft Windows and allows you to rapidly add FTP functionality to your application.
Product Features
The Sapphire FTP Utility has a host of features that you can use within your application:
Open a session
Close a session
Upload and Download files
Transfer files in 1K chunks
Change the remote directory
Retrieve the current remote directory

You can download the latest demo version to see a fully working demo which you can reuse within your application as you see fit. This can be found on the download pages. The demo versions are fully functional and simply contain a popup message from time to time. These are ideal if you are selling your application to the client where you can be confident the application will work in practice and not just theory.
Sample Code
Implementation couldn’t be easier, simply declare the DLL function as a function within your application and call it as though you wrote it yourself. Here’s a sample demo on how to connect to an FTP server within VB.NET.
Dim lResult As Integer
Dim lPassive As Integer
Dim lTimeOut As Integer
If MsgBox("Connect in Passive mode?", vbYesNo, _
"Sapphire FTP Explorer") = vbYes Then
MsgBox("Connect to server", vbOkOnly, "Sapphire FTP")
End If
