FTP Client Engine for Visual Basic and VB.NET
The FTP Client Engine for Visual Basic (FCE4VB) is a library of functions providing direct and simple control of the FTP protocol and can be used for both anonymous and private FTP sessions.
A simple interface allows connecting to a FTP server, navigating its directory structure, listing files, sending files, deleting files, and receiving files using the FTP protocol.
The FCE4VB library contains both WIN32 and WIN64 Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) and can be used with any Windows application capable of calling the Windows AP, Windows XP through Windows 11.
Requires any version of Visual Basic, including Visual Studio .NET,
or any Visual Basic for Applications
(VBA) language such as Word, Excel, and Access.
