The File Transfer .NET component supports both the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the two most popular Internet protocols used to transfer files. In many cases, you can actually perform a complete file transfer with a single line of code. For those tasks that are more complicated, the File Transfer class also includes methods that makes it easy to list, move, rename and delete files and directories on the server.

The File Transfer .NET component also provides integrated support for secure, encrypted connections using the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. Your data is protected by industrial strength 128-bit encryption, along with support for client certificates and other advanced features. There's no need to use additional classes or understand complex encryption and certificate management APIs. You can set a single property and establish a secure connection with the server, and it's completely transparent to your application.

For developers who have used the File Transfer ActiveX control, you'll also find the .NET component incredibly easy to use. The File Transfer .NET class has properties, methods and events that are very similar to the ActiveX control that you've used in languages like Visual Basic 6.0. If you're making the transition to the .NET platform, you definitely want to upgrade.
