OFTPClient Control
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The OFTPClient control implements the Odette File Transfer Protocol.
Syntax
OFTPClient
Remarks
The OFTPClient component may be used to send and receive OFTP files to and from an OFTP server.
Receiving Files
The OFTPClient ReceiveFiles function requires certain server properties be set. You must set the RemoteHost property to the remote location of the desired OFTP server. You may also set a RemotePort if the server is not set to the default protocol port. For client authorization, you must set the ClientSSIDCode, ClientSFIDCode, and ClientPassword properties. And, for server authentication, you must set the ServerSSIDCode, ServerSFIDCode, and ServerPassword properties.
The control will connect to the OFTP server and download all files in the server's outgoing queue, and write these files to the directory specified by DownloadDirectory. The control creates a default location on the local machine based on the values of the DownloadDirectory and the Virtual Filename as received from the server. If a different location is preferred, you may set the LocalFile parameter of the StartTransfer event.
Sending Files
The OFTPClient SendFile function requires the same server and authentication properties to be set as the ReceiveFiles function.
The control will connect to the OFTP server and upload the file contained by the LocalFile parameter. It uses the name specified by VirtualFileName when sending to the server. If this is not specified, the filename of the local file is parsed and used as the virtual filename.

Remarks
This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the control initiate connections (or accept in the case of server controls) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.
If the control is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

TrustedCertSubject Property (OFTPClient Control)
The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.TrustedCertSubject(TrustedCertIndex)[=string]
Default Value
""
Remarks
The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.
This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.
If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.
If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.
If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.
The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.
The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:
Field | Meaning |
CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
O | Organization |
OU | Organizational Unit |
L | Locality |
S | State |
C | Country |
E | Email Address |
If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.
The TrustedCertIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the TrustedCertCount property.

The structure of the outgoing file.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.VirtualFileFormat[=integer]
Possible Values
ffUnstructured(0), ffText(1), ffFixed(2), ffVariable(3)
Default Value
0
Remarks
The following values are valid file formats for outgoing virtual files:
0 (Unstructured - default) | The outgoing file is binary and has not structure. There are no records in this type of file. |
1 (Text) | The outgoing file is a text file that consists of lines containing no more than 2048 characters terminated by CRLF. This type contains no records. |
2 (Fixed) | The outgoing file is in fixed file format, which means all records are of the same length. For fixed files, the control expects the file to be in text format with each line containing the MaxRecordSize characters terminated by a CRLF. |
3 (Variable) | The outgoing file is a variable file format, meaning all records are of variable length and are no longer than MaxRecordSize. When using this format, the control will parse out each record as a line terminated by CRLF. Thus, this type of file must be a text file, and must contain lines with less than MaxRecordSize characters. |
Note: When either VirtualFileSecurityLevel has been set to a value other than slNone or Compress has been set to true, all files become ffUnstructured except ffVariable files.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Integer
VirtualFileSecurityLevel Property (OFTPClient Control)

slNone(0), slEncrypted(1), slSigned(2), slEncryptedAndSigned(3)
Default Value
0
Remarks
When sending files, set this value to the level of security for the next virtual file to send. After receiving a file, this will be set to the level of security of the last file received.
When encrypting a file, RecipientCert must be set, and when signing a file, the Certificate must be set.
The file will be processed to a temporary file before being sent.
This is only valid for version 2.0 of the protocol.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Integer
ChangeDirection Method (OFTPClient Control)
Sends a Change Direction (CD) command.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.ChangeDirection
Remarks
This method sends a Change Direction (CD) command to the remote host when called. In normal operation this should not be used. This should only be used if a condition arises where you must manually change the speaker when communicating with the remote host.
Config Method (OFTPClient Control)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.Config ConfigurationString
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
Connect Method (OFTPClient Control)
This method connects to the FTP server without logging in.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.Connect
Remarks
This method establishes a connection with the RemoteHost but does not log in. In most cases, it is recommended to use the Logon method, which will both establish a connection and log in to the server.
This method may be useful in cases in which it is desirable to separate the connection and logon operations, for instance, confirming that a host is available by first creating the connection.
Disconnect Method (OFTPClient Control)
This method disconnects from the server without first logging off.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.Disconnect
Remarks
This method immediately disconnects from the server without first logging off.
In most cases, the Logoff method should be used to log off and disconnect from the server. Call the Disconnect method in cases in which it is desirable to immediately disconnect without first logging off.
DoEvents Method (OFTPClient Control)
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.DoEvents
Remarks
When DoEvents is called, the control processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
ExchangeCertificate Method (OFTPClient Control)
Exchange a certificate with the remote host.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.ExchangeCertificate CertificateStore, CertificateExchangeType
Remarks
If the remote host supports the certificate exchange feature of OFTP 2.0 this method may be used to send and/or request certificates.
The CertificateStore parameter specifies the location of the certificate to be exchanged. In most cases this will be the path to a .cer file on disk. If the certificate is in another format or is installed to the Windows certificate store please see ExchangeCertStoreType and ExchangeCertSubject for more information.
The CertificateExchangeType parameter determines the type of request. Possible values are:
0 | Request: The control will send the certificate file specified. The remote host will respond with a certificate of it's own. The response may be in a separate session. |
1 | Replace: The control will send the certificate file specified. No certificate is expected in response. The certificate sent here invalidates any previous certificates the remote host has stored. |
2 | Deliver: The control will send the certificate file specified. This is used to respond to a certificate request. It may also be used to send new additional certificates to the remote host. This will not invalidate previous certificates the remote host has stored. |
ImportTrustedCerts Method (OFTPClient Control)
Imports a list of trusted CA certificates.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.ImportTrustedCerts
Remarks
When ImportTrustedCerts is called the control will import the CA certificates from the source specified by TrustedCertsData into the TrustedCerts collection.
The control will then validate the trust of certificates when they are loaded.
If trusted CA certificates are not imported no validation will occur (default).
See also FailOnUntrustedCert.
Interrupt Method (OFTPClient Control)
This method interrupts the current action.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.Interrupt
Remarks
This method interrupts the current action. If you use SendFile to upload a file, the control will run synchronously until the upload is completed. This method will allow you to stop the file from uploading without disconnecting from the host.
Logoff Method (OFTPClient Control)
Logoff from the OFTP server.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.Logoff
Remarks
Logoff from the OFTP server. If that fails, the connection is terminated by the local host.
Logon Method (OFTPClient Control)
Logon to the OFTP RemoteHost using the current client credentials.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.Logon
Remarks
Logon to the OFTP server using the current ClientSSIDCode, ClientSFIDCode, and ClientPassword. The component will also check the corresponding server credentials, ServerSSIDCode, ServerSFIDCode, and ServerPassword.
ReceiveFiles Method (OFTPClient Control)
Receive any files queued to be sent from the server.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.ReceiveFiles
Remarks
This method connects to the server, and receives any files the server has in its outgoing queue to this particular partner. The files are downloaded to the directory specified by the DownloadDirectory property.
Reset Method (OFTPClient Control)
Resets the state of the control.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.Reset
Remarks
Reset resets the state of the control. All properties will be set to their default values.
SendEndResponse Method (OFTPClient Control)
Sends an EERP/NERP asynchronously.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.SendEndResponse VirtualFileName, VirtualFileDate, Destination, Originator, Creator, ReasonCode, ReasonText, FileHash, Signature
Remarks
This method sends an EERP/NERP. By default the control will automatically respond with an EERP/NERP when receiving a file. To respond asynchronously instead this method may be used.
To respond asynchronously first set the SendEndResponse parameter of the EndTransfer event to False. This instructs the control to not send a response automatically. Within the EndTransfer event you must also save the values that are required parameters for this method. This includes FileHash, VirtualFileDate, and VirtualFileName. Note: VirtualFileDateFormat must be set to a format that includes the necessary level of accuracy.
Destination should be set to the SFID of the remote host.
Originator should be set to the SFID of the local system. In the case that the control is being used as part of a gateway process to forward traffic to another OFTP host this may be set to the SFID of that host instead.
Creator should be set to the SFID of the local system.
Signature is only applicable if the application is acting as a routing application. In all other cases this should be set to empty string. In the case where the application is acting as a routing application the end response is being forwarded to another entity for processing. The Signature should be set to the value received in the EndResponse event (if populated).
ReasonCode and ReasonText are used to specify error information. If ReasonCode is set to 0 the control will send an EERP. If ReasonCode is set to any non-zero value the control will send a NERP. Common values are:
ReasonCode | ReasonText |
3 | User Code Not Known |
4 | Invalid Password |
9 | Unspecified Reason |
11 | Invalid FileName |
12 | Invalid Destination |
13 | Invalid Origin |

90 | File Size Incompatible With Recipient's Protocol Version |
99 | Unspecified Reason |
SendFile Method (OFTPClient Control)
Send the specified file to the server.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.SendFile LocalFile, VirtualFileName
Remarks
This method connects to the server, and uploads the specified file to the server. The LocalFile parameter contains the path and name of the file to send to the server. The VirtualFileName parameter contains the virtual file name of the file being sent. If this parameter is left as an empty string, the component will use the filename contained in the LocalFile parameter by default.
Note: When SetUploadStream has been called with a valid input stream, the data will be uploaded from there instead of the LocalFile.
ValidateCert Method (OFTPClient Control)
Validates the certificate with private key.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.ValidateCert
Remarks
This method optionally validates the certificate specified by Certificate. It is not required to validate the certificate from a technical perspective, but may be desired to ensure the recipient's certificate is valid and issued by a trusted authority.
Before calling this method call ImportTrustedCerts to load the trusted certification information.
When this method is called the control:
- Validates the certificate has not expired
- Validates the certificate was issued by a CA in the TrustedCerts collection. If the certificate is self-signed this step is skipped.
- Validates the certificate has not been revoked. Note that the revocation check will only make use of the CRL distribution point identified in the certificate's extension. If the certificate does not contain a CRL distribution point extension this step is skipped.
ValidateRecipientCert Method (OFTPClient Control)
Validates the recipient certificate.
Syntax
oftpclientcontrol.ValidateRecipientCert
Remarks
This method optionally validates the certificate specified by RecipientCert. It is not required to validate the certificate from a technical perspective, but may be desired to ensure the recipient's certificate is valid and issued by a trusted authority.
Before calling this method call ImportTrustedCerts to load the trusted certification information.
When this method is called the control:
- Validates the certificate has not expired
- Validates the certificate was issued by a CA in the TrustedCerts collection. If the certificate is self-signed this step is skipped.
- Validates the certificate has not been revoked. Note that the revocation check will only make use of the CRL distribution point identified in the certificate's extension. If the certificate does not contain a CRL distribution point extension this step is skipped.
AcceptFile Event (OFTPClient Control)
Fired when the client receives a file.
Syntax
Sub oftpclientcontrol_AcceptFile(VirtualFileName As String, VirtualFileDate As String, Destination As String, Originator As String, Accept As Boolean, FileName As String, Overwrite As Boolean, ErrorCode As Integer, ErrorDescription As String)
Remarks
This event controls the behavior when the client receives a file.
VirtualFileName holds the name of the file being received.
VirtualFileDate holds the date associated with the file in the format specified by VirtualFileDateFormat. The default value is "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".
Destination identifies the receiver (SFID) code in the send file request. If the file was intended for this server this will match the value in ServerSFIDCode
Originator identifies the sender (SFID) code in the send file request.
Accept is true by default, and must be set to False in order to reject the file.
Filename will be populated with the full path and filename that will be written. It may be changed within this event to specify a new location. The Filename is determined by combining the path specified in OFTPConnectionDownloadDirectory and the name received from the client.
Overwrite is false by default, but may be set to true to overwrite existing files on disk.
ErrorCode controls the error returned to the client when Accept is set to False. If this is not set the control will use a value of 99 to indicate a general error.
ErrorDescription may also be set to include an error message. If this is not set the control will automatically include an error message based on the ErrorCode specified. Common error codes and their corresponding error messages are listed below.
ErrorCode | ErrorMessage |
1 | Invalid filename. |
2 | Invalid destination. |
3 | Invalid origin. |

CertificateReceived Event (OFTPClient Control)
Fired when a certificate is received from the remote host.
Syntax
Sub oftpclientcontrol_CertificateReceived(CertificateFileName As String, CertificateExchangeType As Integer)
Remarks
This event provides information about the certificate file that was sent by the remote host.
When the remote host sends a certificate using the Certificate Exchange feature of OFTP 2.0, this event provides information about it. The certificate file will be written to the DownloadDirectory. After the file is written to DownloadDirectory this event will fire.
The CertificateFilemame parameter holds the filename of the received certificate.
The CertificateExchangeType parameter identifies the type of request associated with the certificate. Possible values are:
0 | Request: The control received a certificate and request from the remote host. Respond using the ExchangeCertificate method using a CertificateExchangeType of 3 (Deliver). The response may be in a separate session. |
1 | Replace: The control received a certificate from the remote host. No response is expected. The certificate received here invalidates any previously stored certificates for this configuration. |
2 | Deliver: The control received a certificate from the remote host. This is either a response to a certificate request, or a new additional certificates from the remote host. This will not invalidate previous certificates stored for this configuration. |
EndResponse Event (OFTPClient Control)
Fired every time an end response is received from the server.
Syntax
Sub oftpclientcontrol_EndResponse(VirtualFileName As String, VirtualFileDate As String, Destination As String, Originator As String, Creator As String, ReasonCode As Integer, ReasonText As String, FileHash As String, Signature As String, Direction As Integer)
Remarks
This event contains information received from an either an End-To-End Response or a Negative End Response received from the server.
An End-To-End Response will not contain values for the ReasonCode, ReasonText, or Creator parameters.
VirtualFileName specifies the name of the file.
VirtualFileDate holds the VirtualFileDate value in the format specified by VirtualFileDateFormat. The default value is "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".
Destination is the SFID of the destination system (this control).
Originator identifies the system that originated the end response. This is typically the same as Creator and holds the remote system's SFID.
Creator is the SFID of the remote system.
Direction specifies whether the end response is being received or sent. Possible values are:
0 | Received |
1 | Sent |
FileHash is populated if the OFTP Version is 2.0 and a signed receipt was originally requested. FileHash may also be specified with the expected value in the case where an asynchronous EndResponse is received. The expected value may be obtained from the EndTransfer event when initially sending the file.
Signature is only applicable when the OFTP version is 2.0 and the application is acting as a routing application where the end response will be forwarded on to another entity. In this case Signature will be populated if the end response is signed. This should be stored and supplied when forwarding the response with the SendEndResponse method.
ReasonCode and ReasonText identify the error if a Negative End Response (NERP) was received. A value of 0 indicates there was no an error and the response is an End-To-End Response (EERP). Common values are:

Sub oftpclientcontrol_Transfer(Direction As Integer, LocalFile As String, VirtualFileName As String, VirtualFileDate As String, Destination As String, Originator As String, BytesTransferred As Long64, Text As String)
Remarks
The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being retrieved. It is empty if data is being posted to the server.
The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
VirtualFileName holds the filename.
VirtualFileDate holds the date associated with the file in the format specified by VirtualFileDateFormat. The default value is "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".
Originator identifies the sender (SFID) code in the send file request.
Destination identifies the receiver (SFID) code in the send file request.
LocalFile holds the full path to the file that will be written.
Config Settings (OFTPClient Control)
The control accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.OFTPClient Config Settings
When set to False (default) the component will send a value indicating the server should not retry the send operation.
component.Config("CertificateType=3");
component.Certificate = mySigningCertificate;
Possible values are:
0 (default) | All Operations |
1 | Session Authentication |
2 | Decryption |
3 | Signing |
4 | Receipt Signing |
0 | Both (Default) |
1 | Send Only |
2 | Receive Only |
When this is set to True (default) and there is an error during processing the original unprocessed file will be deleted and no files will be placed in DownloadDirectory.
When set to True, if the server's OFTP version does not match the client's Version, the control fails with an error. When set to False (default), if the server's OFTP version does not match the client's Version, the control will use the lowest mutually supported version.
For a list of possible values please see CertStoreType. Also see ExchangeCertSubject.
0 | sha1 |
1 | sha256 (Default) |

When set to True, this overrides the default behavior and will always send a CD command regardless of whether the indicator is set in the EFPA.
This should only be set if there is a specific reason to do so. In most cases it is not necessary.
- Compress is true
- VirtualFileSecurityLevel is set to slEncrypted
- VirtualFileSecurityLevel is set to slSigned
- VirtualFileSecurityLevel is set to slEncryptedAndSigned
Note that VirtualFileSecurityLevel is only applicable when Version is set to oftpVer20.
When using OFTP v2.0 If the control is configured to respond to EERP and NERP messages asynchronously this should be set to the value "yyyyMMddHHmmssffff" or a similar format that includes the same level of accuracy. This is required to ensure that when calling SendEndResponse the value saved from within the EndTransfer event has the necessary data when sending a response.
