FTP Class

Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors

The FTP Class can be used to transfer files to and from FTP servers using the FTP Protocol.

Syntax

FTP

Remarks

The FTP Class supports both plaintext and SSL/TLS connections. When connecting over SSL/TLS the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL related settings are also supported via the Config method.

The FTP Class implements a standard FTP client as specified in RFC 959 and RFC 1579 with the added option of SSL security (RFC 2228) in both the protocol and data channels.

The first step in using the class is specifying the RemoteHost, User and Password. The file to upload to or download from is given by the RemoteFile property. The file to download to or upload from is specified by LocalFile. The current path in the server is set by calling ChangeRemotePath. The Passive property is especially useful if the client is behind a firewall which inhibits incoming connections to higher ports.

If LocalFile is set to something other than an empty string, then files are received in LocalFile, otherwise the data is received through the Transfer event. StartTransfer and EndTransfer are fired at the beginning and end of transmission.

The PITrail event traces the interaction between the client and the server (the FTP Protocol Interface connection).

Directory listings are received through the DirList event.

- (void)setLocalHost:(NSString*)newLocalHost;

char* ipworks_ftp_getlocalhost(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_setlocalhost(void* lpObj, const char* lpszLocalHost);

Default Value

Remarks

The LocalHost 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 multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.

If the class 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 multi-homed 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.

Data Type

String

Overwrite Property (FTP Class)

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetOverwrite();
int SetOverwrite(int bOverwrite);

Unicode (Windows)
BOOL GetOverwrite();
INT SetOverwrite(BOOL bOverwrite);

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=overwrite,setter=setOverwrite:) BOOL overwrite;

- (BOOL)overwrite;
- (void)setOverwrite:(BOOL)newOverwrite;

int ipworks_ftp_getoverwrite(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_setoverwrite(void* lpObj, int bOverwrite);

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

Data Type

Boolean

Passive Property (FTP Class)

Controls whether to direct the server into passive mode. Recommended if behind a firewall.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetPassive();
int SetPassive(int bPassive);

Unicode (Windows)
BOOL GetPassive();
INT SetPassive(BOOL bPassive);

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=passive,setter=setPassive:) BOOL passive;

- (BOOL)passive;
- (void)setPassive:(BOOL)newPassive;

int ipworks_ftp_getpassive(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_setpassive(void* lpObj, int bPassive);

Default Value

TRUE

Remarks

This property controls whether to direct the server into passive mode. Many firewalls will not allow the FTP server to open a connection from outside to the higher ports where the FTP client class expects them. If Passive is set to TRUE, the class will use the PASV instead of the PORT command and will thus direct the server into passive mode: connections are initiated only by the client.

Data Type

char* GetPassword();
int SetPassword(const char* lpszPassword);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetPassword();
INT SetPassword(LPCWSTR lpszPassword);

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=password,setter=setPassword:) NSString* password;

- (NSString*)password;
- (void)setPassword:(NSString*)newPassword;

char* ipworks_ftp_getpassword(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_setpassword(void* lpObj, const char* lpszPassword);

Default Value

Remarks

This property contains the password used to log in and must be set before the class connects to the FTP server.

RemoteFile Property (FTP Class)

The name of the remote file for uploading, downloading, etc.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetRemoteFile();
int SetRemoteFile(const char* lpszRemoteFile);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetRemoteFile();
INT SetRemoteFile(LPCWSTR lpszRemoteFile);

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=remoteFile,setter=setRemoteFile:) NSString* remoteFile;

- (void)setRemoteFile:(NSString*)newRemoteFile;

char* ipworks_ftp_getremotefile(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_setremotefile(void* lpObj, const char* lpszRemoteFile);

Default Value

Remarks

This property contains the name of the remote file to upload, download, etc. and is either an absolute file path, or a relative path based on the remote path set by calling ChangeRemotePath.

A number of methods use RemoteFile as an argument.

Example (Setting RemoteFile)

Note: As long as file masks are supported by the server, then this property will also act as a file mask when performing ListDirectory or ListDirectoryLong. If not supported, then ApplyFileMaskLocally could be set to true to filter the results locally.

Example (Using RemoteFile as a file mask): FTPControl.RemoteFile = "*.txt" FTPControl.ListDirectory()

The following special characters are supported for pattern matching:


?	Any single character.
*	Any characters or no characters. I.E., C*t matches Cat, Cot, Coast, Ct, etc)
[,-]	A range of characters. E.g.: [a-z], [a], [0-9], [0-9,a-d,f,r-z], etc.
\	The slash is ignored and exact matching is performed on the next character.

If the above characters need to be used as a literal in a pattern then they must be escaped by surrounding them with a []. (Note, "]" and "-" do not need to be escaped) See below for the escape sequences:


Character	Escape Sequence
?	[?]
*	[*]
[	[[]
\	[\]

For example, to match the value [Something].txt specify the pattern [[]Something].txt

Data Type

String

- (void)setRemoteHost:(NSString*)newRemoteHost;

char* ipworks_ftp_getremotehost(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_setremotehost(void* lpObj, const char* lpszRemoteHost);

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or Domain Name of the FTP server. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is in progress.

If this property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If the class is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with an "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.

Data Type

String

Remarks

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The SSLCertStoreType property denotes the type of the certificate store specified by SSLCertStore. If the store is password protected, specify the password in SSLCertStorePassword.

SSLCertStore is used in conjunction with the SSLCertSubject property to specify client certificates. If SSLCertStore has a value, and SSLCertSubject or SSLCertEncoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the SSLCertSubject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform-dependent.

The following are designations of the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:


MY	A certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys.
CA	Certifying authority certificates.
ROOT	Root certificates.

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e. PKCS12 certificate store).

int ipworks_ftp_getsslcertstoretype(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_setsslcertstoretype(void* lpObj, int iSSLCertStoreType);

Default Value

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:


0 (cstUser - default)	For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user. Note: this store type is not available in Java.
1 (cstMachine)	For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store. Note: this store type is not available in Java.
2 (cstPFXFile)	The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS12) file containing certificates.
3 (cstPFXBlob)	The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS12) format.
4 (cstJKSFile)	The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates. Note: this store type is only available in Java.
5 (cstJKSBlob)	The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format. Note: this store type is only available in Java.
6 (cstPEMKeyFile)	The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
7 (cstPEMKeyBlob)	The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
8 (cstPublicKeyFile)	The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PEM- or DER-encoded public key certificate.
9 (cstPublicKeyBlob)	The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) that contains a PEM- or DER-encoded public key certificate.
10 (cstSSHPublicKeyBlob)	The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) that contains an SSH-style public key.
11 (cstP7BFile)	The certificate store is the name of a PKCS7 file containing certificates.
12 (cstP7BBlob)	The certificate store is a string (binary) representing a certificate store in PKCS7 format.

The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to `cstSecurityKey`, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS11 dll. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's `CertEncoded` parameter may be saved for later use. When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the SSLCertStore and set SSLCertStorePassword to the PIN. Code Example: SSH Authentication with Security Key `certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstSecurityKey; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstSecurityKey, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);`

SSL_NONE(3)

int ipworks_ftp_getsslstartmode(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_setsslstartmode(void* lpObj, int iSSLStartMode);

Default Value

Remarks

The SSLStartMode property may have one of the following values:


0 (sslAutomatic)	If the remote port is set to the standard plaintext port of the protocol (where applicable), the class will behave the same as if SSLStartMode is set to sslExplicit. In all other cases, SSL negotiation will be implicit (sslImplicit).
1 (sslImplicit)	The SSL negotiation will start immediately after the connection is established.
2 (sslExplicit)	The class will first connect in plaintext, and then explicitly start SSL negotiation through a protocol command such as STARTTLS.
3 (sslNone - default)	No SSL negotiation, no SSL security. All communication will be in plaintext mode.

Data Type

Integer

StartByte Property (FTP Class)

The byte index in RemoteFile and LocalFile from which to start the transmission.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetStartByte();
int SetStartByte(const char* lpszStartByte);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetStartByte();
INT SetStartByte(LPCWSTR lpszStartByte);

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=startByte,setter=setStartByte:) NSString* startByte;

- (void)setStartByte:(NSString*)newStartByte;

char* ipworks_ftp_getstartbyte(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_setstartbyte(void* lpObj, const char* lpszStartByte);

Default Value

"0"

Remarks

This property contains a zero-based index in both RemoteFile and LocalFile that determines the point where the transmission of data starts from. This is useful for resuming interrupted downloads and uploads of files from FTP servers.

Once set, the StartByte index is used for all future downloads/uploads. The property must be reset to "0" for normal downloads/uploads.

The type of the property is a string instead of numeric to allow for certain implementations that expect an alphanumeric marker of the start index.

In the Transfer event, the TransferredBytes parameter will include the bytes skipped (i.e. it will show StartByte more bytes than actually transferred).

NOTE: some FTP servers may not support the FTP 'REST' command. If that is the case with the server you are accessing, you will not be able to use the StartByte property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

Timeout Property (FTP Class)

A timeout for the class.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetTimeout();
int SetTimeout(int iTimeout);

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetTimeout();
INT SetTimeout(INT iTimeout);

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timeout,setter=setTimeout:) int timeout;

- (int)timeout;
- (void)setTimeout:(int)newTimeout;

int ipworks_ftp_gettimeout(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_settimeout(void* lpObj, int iTimeout);

Default Value

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class fails with an error.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

Data Type

Integer

User Property (FTP Class)

The user identifier to use for login.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetUser();
int SetUser(const char* lpszUser);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetUser();
INT SetUser(LPCWSTR lpszUser);

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=user,setter=setUser:) NSString* user;

- (NSString*)user;
- (void)setUser:(NSString*)newUser;

char* ipworks_ftp_getuser(void* lpObj);
int ipworks_ftp_setuser(void* lpObj, const char* lpszUser);

Default Value

Remarks

This property contains the user identifier to be used when logging in and must be set before the class connects to the FTP server.

Data Type

String

Abort Method (FTP Class)

Abort Current Upload/Download.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Abort();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Abort();

- (void)abort;

int ipworks_ftp_abort(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method sends an ABOR command to the FTP server. It is used to interrupt file uploads/downloads.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Append Method (FTP Class)

Append data from LocalFile to a RemoteFile on an FTP server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Append();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Append();

- (void)append;

int ipworks_ftp_append(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method causes the server-DTP to accept the data transferred via the data connection and to store the data in a file on the server site. If the file specified in the pathname exists on the server site, then the data shall be appended to that file; otherwise the file specified in the pathname shall be created on the server site. Similar to the Upload method but the local file specified by LocalFile is appended to RemoteFile on the server as opposed to replacing it as done by the Upload method. RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to to the current path set by ChangeRemotePath. The server will create a file with that name if it doesn't already exist (similar to Upload). If there is no FTP session in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

Error Handling (C++)

ChangeRemotePath Method (FTP Class)

Changes the current path on the FTP Server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ChangeRemotePath(const char* lpszRemotePath);

Unicode (Windows)
INT ChangeRemotePath(LPCWSTR lpszRemotePath);

- (void)changeRemotePath:(NSString*)remotePath;

int ipworks_ftp_changeremotepath(void* lpObj, const char* lpszRemotePath);

Remarks

This method changes the current path on the FTP server to the specified RemotePath. When called, the class will issue a command to the server to change the directory. The RemotePath parameter may hold an absolute or relative path.

Absolute Paths

If the path begins with a / it is considered and absolute path and must specify the entire path from the root of the server. For instance:

component.ChangeRemotePath("/home/testuser/myfolder");

Relative Paths

If the path does not begin with a / it is considered a relative path and is resolved in relation to the current directory. For instance a value of myfolder will indicate a sub-folder of the current directory. The special value .. refers to the parent directory of the current path. For instance:

//Change to the 'myfolder' sub-directory component.ChangeRemotePath("myfolder"); //Navigate up two levels and then into the 'another/folder' path. component.ChangeRemotePath("../../another/folder");

Error Handling (C++)

ChangeTransferMode Method (FTP Class)

Changes the transfer mode for the current connection.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ChangeTransferMode(int iTransferMode);

Unicode (Windows)
INT ChangeTransferMode(INT iTransferMode);

- (void)changeTransferMode:(int)transferMode;

int ipworks_ftp_changetransfermode(void* lpObj, int iTransferMode);

Remarks

This method optionally changes the transfer mode used for the connection. The TransferMode parameter indicates that new transfer mode to use.

In many cases it is not necessary to explictly change the transfer mode, however the binary transfer mode is useful to ensure that files are preserved byte-for-byte during the transfer. For instance when uploading or downloading images, archives, etc. the binary transfer mode will ensure no line ending transformations are performed by the server before data is transmitted.

Valid values for the TransferMode parameter are:


0 (Default)	Files are transferred using the default mode of the FTP server.
1 (ASCII)	Files are transferred in ASCII mode (TYPE A).
2 (Binary)	Files are transferred in Binary mode (TYPE I).

Error Handling (C++)

CheckFileExists Method (FTP Class)

Returns true if the file specified by RemoteFile exists on the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int CheckFileExists();

Unicode (Windows)
INT CheckFileExists();

- (BOOL)checkFileExists;

int ipworks_ftp_checkfileexists(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method sends a command to the server to determine if the file specified by RemoteFile exists. If the file exists this method returns true, otherwise it returns false. RemoteFile must be specified before calling this method. For instance: component.ChangeRemotePath("/home/testuser/myfolder"); component.RemoteFile = "test.txt"; if(component.CheckFileExists()) { //Do something }

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Boolean value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Config Method (FTP Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);

- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

char* ipworks_ftp_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, 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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Connect Method (FTP Class)

Connects to the FTP server without logging in.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Connect();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Connect();

- (void)connect;

int ipworks_ftp_connect(void* lpObj);

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 where it is desirable to separate the connection and logon operations, for instance confirming a host is available by first creating the connection.

Error Handling (C++)

DeleteFile Method (FTP Class)

Remove a file specified by FileName from an FTP server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int DeleteFile(const char* lpszFileName);

Unicode (Windows)
INT DeleteFile(LPCWSTR lpszFileName);

- (void)deleteFile:(NSString*)fileName;

int ipworks_ftp_deletefile(void* lpObj, const char* lpszFileName);

Remarks

This method is used to remove a file specified by FileName from an FTP server. The remote file or directory specified by FileName is deleted. FileName is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to remote path set by ChangeRemotePath. If there is no FTP session in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

Error Handling (C++)

Disconnect Method (FTP Class)

This method disconnects from the server without first logging off.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Disconnect();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Disconnect();

- (void)disconnect;

int ipworks_ftp_disconnect(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method immediately disconnects from the server without first logging off.

In most cases the Logoff method should be used to logoff and disconnect from the server. Call the Disconnect method in cases where it is desirable to immediately disconnect without first logging off.

Error Handling (C++)

DoEvents Method (FTP Class)

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int DoEvents();

Unicode (Windows)
INT DoEvents();

- (void)doEvents;

int ipworks_ftp_doevents(void* lpObj);

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

Error Handling (C++)

Download Method (FTP Class)

Download a RemoteFile from an FTP server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Download();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Download();

- (void)download;

int ipworks_ftp_download(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method is used to download the remote file specified by RemoteFile to the local file specified by LocalFile, or it is retrieved through the Transfer event if the LocalFile property is "" (empty string). RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to remote path set by calling ChangeRemotePath. If there is no FTP session in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

Example (Download a File)

Error Handling (C++)

Interrupt Method (FTP Class)

Interrupt the current method.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Interrupt();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Interrupt();

- (void)interrupt;

Error Handling (C++)

ListDirectory Method (FTP Class)

List the current directory specified by ChangeRemotePath on an FTP server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ListDirectory();

Unicode (Windows)
INT ListDirectory();

- (void)listDirectory;

int ipworks_ftp_listdirectory(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method is used to list the directory (or file mask) specified in RemoteFile. RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to the remote path set by ChangeRemotePath. The file listing is received through the DirList event.

Similar to ListDirectoryLong, except only file names are returned.

Note that since RemoteFile acts as a file mask, to retrieve a complete directory listing RemoteFile should be set to empty string or a mask like "*". If there is no FTP session in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

Error Handling (C++)

ListDirectoryLong Method (FTP Class)

List extended directory information for the remote path specified by calling ChangeRemotePath .

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ListDirectoryLong();

Unicode (Windows)
INT ListDirectoryLong();

- (void)listDirectoryLong;

int ipworks_ftp_listdirectorylong(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method is used to request a directory (or file mask) listing specified in RemoteFile. RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to the remote path set by calling ChangeRemotePath. The file listing is received through the DirList event. Extended file information is returned.

Error Handling (C++)

Remarks

This method is used to logoff from the FTP server by posting a QUIT command. If that fails, the connection is terminated by the local host.

Error Handling (C++)

Logon Method (FTP Class)

Logon to the FTP RemoteHost using the current User and Password .

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Logon();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Logon();

- (void)logon;

int ipworks_ftp_logon(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method is used to logon to the FTP server using the current User and Password. If TransferMode is not 0 (Default), then the FTP transfer mode is set to the appropriate value.

Example (Logging On)

FTPControl.RemoteHost = "ftpserver" FTPControl.User = "username" FTPControl.Password = "password" FTPControl.Logon()

Error Handling (C++)

MakeDirectory Method (FTP Class)

INT MakeDirectory(LPCWSTR lpszNewDir);

- (void)makeDirectory:(NSString*)newDir;

int ipworks_ftp_makedirectory(void* lpObj, const char* lpszNewDir);

Remarks

This method is used to create a directory with path specified by NewDir on the FTP server. NewDir is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to the remote path set by calling ChangeRemotePath. If there is no FTP session in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

Note that when MakeDirectory is called, RemoteFile is changed to NewDir.

Error Handling (C++)

QueryFileSize Method (FTP Class)

Returns the size of the file specified by RemoteFile .

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int64 QueryFileSize();

Unicode (Windows)
LONG64 QueryFileSize();

- (long long)queryFileSize;

int64 ipworks_ftp_queryfilesize(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method sends the SIZE command to the server to obtain the size (in bytes) of the file specified by RemoteFile. RemoteFile must be specified before calling this method. For instance: component.ChangeRemotePath("/home/testuser/myfolder"); component.RemoteFile = "test.txt"; long myFileSize = component.QueryFileSize();

If RemoteFile does not exist on the server the class fails with an error.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Long64 value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

QueryFileTime Method (FTP Class)

Error Handling (C++)

SendCommand Method (FTP Class)

Sends the exact command directly to the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SendCommand(const char* lpszCommand);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SendCommand(LPCWSTR lpszCommand);

- (void)sendCommand:(NSString*)command;

int ipworks_ftp_sendcommand(void* lpObj, const char* lpszCommand);

Remarks

This method sends the command specified by Command to the server exactly as it is provided. Use this method to send additional or custom commands directly to the server.

After calling this method check the LastReply property and/or monitor the PITrail event to obtain the server's response.

Error Handling (C++)

SetDownloadStream Method (FTP Class)

Sets the stream to which the downloaded data from the server will be written.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SetDownloadStream(IPWorksStream* sDownloadStream);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SetDownloadStream(IPWorksStream* sDownloadStream);

int ipworks_ftp_setdownloadstream(void* lpObj, IPWorksStream* sDownloadStream);

Remarks

This method is used to set the stream to which the downloaded data from the server will be written. If a download stream is set before the Download method is called, the downloaded data will be written to the stream. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0. The class will automatically close this stream if CloseStreamAfterTransfer is true (default). If the stream is closed, you will need to call SetDownloadStream again before calling Download again. The downloaded content will be written starting at the current position in the stream. If StartByte is non zero the server will be instructed to skip those bytes before starting to send the content of the file so it is up to you to build the stream appropriately in that case.

Note: SetDownloadStream and LocalFile will reset the other.

Error Handling (C++)

SetUploadStream Method (FTP Class)

Sets the stream from which the class will read data to upload to the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SetUploadStream(IPWorksStream* sUploadStream);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SetUploadStream(IPWorksStream* sUploadStream);

int ipworks_ftp_setuploadstream(void* lpObj, IPWorksStream* sUploadStream);

Remarks

This method is used to set the stream from which the class will read data to upload to the server. If an upload stream is set before the Upload method is called, the content of the stream will be read by the class and uploaded to the server. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0. The class will automatically close this stream if CloseStreamAfterTransfer is true (default). If the stream is closed, you will need to call SetUploadStream again before calling Upload again. The content of the stream will be read from the current position all the way to the end and no bytes will be skipped even if StartByte is set to a non zero value (though the server will be instructed to skip those bytes in its file).

Note: SetUploadStream and LocalFile will reset the other.

Error Handling (C++)

StoreUnique Method (FTP Class)

Upload a file with a Unique Name to an FTP server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int StoreUnique();

Unicode (Windows)
INT StoreUnique();

- (void)storeUnique;

int ipworks_ftp_storeunique(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method is used to upload a file with a Unique Name to an FTP server. Similar to the Upload method but the server determines a unique name for the LocalFile to be saved on the current directory set by calling ChangeRemotePath. The server includes the new name of the file in its response. The user should check the PITrail event, or LastReply property to retrieve this generated filename.

Error Handling (C++)

Upload Method (FTP Class)

Upload a file specified by LocalFile to an FTP server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Upload();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Upload();

- (void)upload;

int ipworks_ftp_upload(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method uploads a local file specified by LocalFile to the remote file specified by RemoteFile. RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to the remote path set by calling ChangeRemotePath. If there is no FTP session in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

If you want to append to a server file, please refer to the Append method.

Example (Upload a File)

FTPControl.LocalFile = "C:\localfile.txt" FTPControl.RemoteFile = "remotefile.txt" FTPControl.Upload() FTPControl.LocalFile = "C:\localfile2.txt" FTPControl.RemoteFile = "folder/remotefile2.txt" FTPControl.Upload()

Error Handling (C++)

ConnectionStatus Event (FTP Class)

Fired to indicate changes in connection state.

virtual INT FireConnectionStatus(FTPConnectionStatusEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  LPCWSTR ConnectionEvent;
  INT StatusCode;
  LPCWSTR Description;
  INT reserved;
} FTPConnectionStatusEventParams;

- (void)onConnectionStatus:(NSString*)connectionEvent :(int)statusCode :(NSString*)description;

#define EID_FTP_CONNECTIONSTATUS 1

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireConnectionStatus(LPSTR &lpszConnectionEvent, INT &iStatusCode, LPSTR &lpszDescription);

Remarks

The ConnectionStatus event is fired when the connection state changes: completion of a firewall or proxy connection, completion of a security handshake, etc.

The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include:


	Firewall connection complete.
	SSL or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable).
	Remote host connection complete.
	Remote host disconnected.
	SSL or S/Shell connection broken.
	Firewall host disconnected.

virtual INT FireDirList(FTPDirListEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  LPCWSTR DirEntry;
  LPCWSTR FileName;
  BOOL IsDir;
  LONG64 FileSize;
  LPCWSTR FileTime;
  INT reserved;
} FTPDirListEventParams;

- (void)onDirList:(NSString*)dirEntry :(NSString*)fileName :(BOOL)isDir :(long long)fileSize :(NSString*)fileTime;

#define EID_FTP_DIRLIST 2

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireDirList(LPSTR &lpszDirEntry, LPSTR &lpszFileName, BOOL &bIsDir, LONG64 &lFileSize, LPSTR &lpszFileTime);

Remarks

The DirList events are fired when a directory listing is received as a response to a ListDirectory or ListDirectoryLong call.

The StartTransfer and EndTransfer events mark the beginning and end of the event stream.

The DirEntry parameter contains the filename when ListDirectory is called, and extended file information when ListDirectoryLong is called.

The class tries to fill out the FileName, IsDir, FileSize, and FileTime parameters when calling the ListDirectoryLong method. Except for FileName, these parameters are empty when a short 'List Directory' is performed.

In Unix systems the date is given in two types of formats: If the date is in the last 12 months the exact time is specified and the year is omitted. Otherwise only the date and the year but not hours or minutes are given.

EndTransfer Event (FTP Class)

Fired when a file completes downloading/uploading.

} FTPEndTransferEventParams;

- (void)onEndTransfer:(int)direction;

#define EID_FTP_ENDTRANSFER 3

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireEndTransfer(INT &iDirection);

Remarks

The EndTransfer event fires when a Data Interface connection is closed. This is when the file finishes transferring and/or a directory listing is finished.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Error Event (FTP Class)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireError(FTPErrorEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  const char *Description;
  int reserved;
} FTPErrorEventParams;


Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireError(FTPErrorEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  INT ErrorCode;
  LPCWSTR Description;
  INT reserved;
} FTPErrorEventParams;

- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

#define EID_FTP_ERROR 4

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireError(INT &iErrorCode, LPSTR &lpszDescription);

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

PITrail Event (FTP Class)

Traces the commands sent to the server, and the respective replies.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FirePITrail(FTPPITrailEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  int Direction;
  const char *Message;
  int reserved;
} FTPPITrailEventParams;


Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FirePITrail(FTPPITrailEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  INT Direction;
  LPCWSTR Message;
  INT reserved;
} FTPPITrailEventParams;

- (void)onPITrail:(int)direction :(NSString*)message;

#define EID_FTP_PITRAIL 5

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FirePITrail(INT &iDirection, LPSTR &lpszMessage);

Remarks

The PITrail event is useful for debugging purposes. It shows all the interaction between the client and the server, line by line.

The Message parameter contains the full text of the message. The Direction parameter shows the originator of the message:


0 (Client)	The `Message` originates from the client.
1 (Server)	The `Message` originates from the server.
2 (Info)	The `Message` is an informative message originating from the client software (the class code).

SSLServerAuthentication Event (FTP Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(FTPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  const char *CertEncoded;
  int lenCertEncoded;
  const char *CertSubject;
  const char *CertIssuer;
  const char *Status;
  int Accept;
  int reserved;
} FTPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;


Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireSSLServerAuthentication(FTPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  LPCSTR CertEncoded;
  INT lenCertEncoded;
  LPCWSTR CertSubject;
  LPCWSTR CertIssuer;
  LPCWSTR Status;
  BOOL Accept;
  INT reserved;
} FTPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;

- (void)onSSLServerAuthentication:(NSData*)certEncoded :(NSString*)certSubject :(NSString*)certIssuer :(NSString*)status :(int*)accept;

#define EID_FTP_SSLSERVERAUTHENTICATION 6

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireSSLServerAuthentication(LPSTR &lpCertEncoded, INT &lenCertEncoded, LPSTR &lpszCertSubject, LPSTR &lpszCertIssuer, LPSTR &lpszStatus, BOOL &bAccept);

Remarks

This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK"). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (FTP Class)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLStatus(FTPSSLStatusEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  const char *Message;
  int reserved;

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireStartTransfer(INT &iDirection);

Remarks

The StartTransfer event fires when a Data Interface connection is created. This is when the file starts transferring and/or a directory listing is started.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Transfer Event (FTP Class)

Fired during file download/upload.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireTransfer(FTPTransferEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  int Direction;
  int64 BytesTransferred;
  int PercentDone;
  const char *Text;
  int lenText;
  int reserved;
} FTPTransferEventParams;


Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireTransfer(FTPTransferEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  INT Direction;
  LONG64 BytesTransferred;
  INT PercentDone;
  LPCSTR Text;
  INT lenText;
  INT reserved;
} FTPTransferEventParams;

- (void)onTransfer:(int)direction :(long long)bytesTransferred :(int)percentDone :(NSData*)text;

#define EID_FTP_TRANSFER 9

virtual INT IPWORKS_CALL FireTransfer(INT &iDirection, LONG64 &lBytesTransferred, INT &iPercentDone, LPSTR &lpText, INT &lenText);

Remarks

One or more Transfer events are fired during file transfer. The BytesTransferred parameter shows the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the transfer.

Text contains the portion of the file data being delivered.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note that events are not re-entrant. Performing time consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may impact overall performance.

IPWorksStream Type

Syntax

IPWorksStream (declared in ipworks.h)

Remarks

The FTP class includes one or more API members that take a stream object as a parameter. To use such API members, create a concrete class that implements the IPWorksStream interface and pass the FTP class an instance of that concrete class.

When implementing the IPWorksStream interface's properties and methods, they must behave as described below. If the concrete class's implementation does not behave as expected, undefined behavior may occur.

Properties

CanRead Whether the stream supports reading.

bool CanRead() { return true; }

CanSeek Whether the stream supports seeking.

bool CanSeek() { return true; }

CanWrite Whether the stream supports writing.

bool CanWrite() { return true; }

Length Gets the length of the stream, in bytes.

int64 GetLength() = 0;

Methods

Close Closes the stream, releasing all resources currently allocated for it.

void Close() {}

This method is called automatically when an IPWorksStream object is deleted.

Flush Forces all data held by the stream's buffers to be written out to storage.

int Flush() { return 0; }

Must return 0 if flushing is successful; or -1 if an error occurs or the stream is closed. If the stream does not support writing, this method must do nothing and return 0.

Read Reads a sequence of bytes from the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes read.

int Read(void* buffer, int count) = 0;

Buffer specifies the buffer to populate with data from the stream. Count specifies the number of bytes that should be read from the stream.
Must return the total number of bytes read into Buffer; this may be less than Count if that many bytes are not currently available, or 0 if the end of the stream has been reached. Must return -1 if an error occurs, if reading is not supported, or if the stream is closed.

Seek Sets the current position within the stream based on a particular point of origin.

int64 Seek(int64 offset, int seekOrigin) = 0;

Offset specifies the offset in the stream to seek to, relative to SeekOrigin. Valid values for SeekOrigin are:

0: Seek from beginning.

1: Seek from current position.

2: Seek from end.

Must return the new position within the stream; or -1 if an error occurs, if seeking is not supported, or if the stream is closed (however, see note below). If -1 is returned, the current position within the stream must remain unchanged.
Note: If the stream is not closed, it must always be possible to call this method with an Offset of 0 and a SeekOrigin of 1 to obtain the current position within the stream, even if seeking is not otherwise supported.

Write Writes a sequence of bytes to the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes written.

int Write(const void* buffer, int count) = 0;

Buffer specifies the buffer with data to write to the stream. Count specifies the number of bytes that should be written to the stream.
Must return the total number of bytes written to the stream; this may be less than Count if that many bytes could not be written. Must return -1 if an error occurs, if writing is not supported, or if the stream is closed.

Configuration Settings (FTP Class)

The class 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 class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

FTP Configuration Settings

ActiveModeIP: Allows the specification of the IP address that the server will connect to for active mode connections.

The ActiveModeIP config can be used to specify the IP address that the server will connect to when using an active mode configuration (Passive = False). When this config is set, the port number where the component listens for active mode connections will still be managed by the component. The PortRange can also be used to ensure that the correct port is used by the client.

Note that this config will be ignored if ActiveModePORTAddress is also specified.

ActiveModePORTAddress: Allows the specification of the PORT address value for active mode connections.

When using an active mode configuration (Passive = False) with a firewall, it may sometimes be necessary to specify the actual PORT value to be sent to the server. ActiveModePORTAddress takes the protocol-level parameter in the form "a,b,c,d,e,f" where "a,b,c,d" is the external IP address separated by commas, and e and f represent, respectively, the high byte (divide by 256) and the low byte (mod 256) values of the external port where the FTP client is listening.

This config must be used in conjunction with PortRange to ensure that the correct port is used by the client.

AppendToLocalFile: Append downloaded files to a local file.

If set to true, the downloaded files will be appended to the file specified in LocalFile.

ApplyFileMaskLocally: Whether to filter the directory listing locally or on the server.

If set to true any filemask provided to RemoteFile will be applied locally, after the server has returned the results. When false (default), the value in RemoteFile will be sent to the server as a part of the relevant listing command. Because using filemasks with list commands is not standardized, some servers do not support them and will return an error.

AutoSelectDataIP: Automatically select the data connection IP.

This setting controls the selection logic of the data connection. By default this value is True and the class will attempt to determine the best IP for the data connection based on the returned value from the server. It is recommended to leave this value set to True unless there is a reason to disable it.

In many cases FTP servers are not configured to return a valid public IP in the PASV response. When SSL/TLS is used any NAT done by the firewall cannot occur and the result is the client may receive an IP that is not accessible.

This setting is designed to allow the connection to succeed in as many cases as possible. When the IP for the data connection is received from the server the class will inspect the value. If the received value is not within the known private IP ranges the class will use it, assuming it is a valid public IP. If the received value is a private IP the class will instead assume the data connection should be established to the same IP as the command connection (true in almost all cases).

When this setting if False, the class will not perform any checks on the received value. When set to False UseRemoteHostAddressForPassive is applicable.

CalculatePercentDone: Enables or Disables calculating the percent complete for downloads.

When set to true (default), the class sends an FTP "SIZE" command to retrieve the file size before beginning a download. When downloading a large quantity of small files, performance may be increased by disabling this feature.

CheckTotalEntry: Whether to ignore directory listing total lines.

Some servers will include "total" information when returning a directory listing that contains some non-entry data. When CheckTotalEntry is set to True (default), the component will ignore lines beginning with "total" to account for this. In some cases, it may be desirable to include these lines in the resulting DirList data; this can be done by setting this configuration setting to False.

DILinger: When set to True, DI connections are terminated gracefully.

This property controls how the DI connection is closed. The default is True.

In the case that DILinger is True (default), there are two scenarios for determining how long the connection will linger. The first, if DILingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP protocol timeout expires.

In the second scenario, DILingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified DILingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the class returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data is sent (even after your application closes).

Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (by a client acknowledgment, for example), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.

DILingerTime: Time in seconds to have the DI connection linger.

LingerTime is the time, in seconds, to leave the socket connection linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP protocol timeout.

FileTimeFormat: The format of file time reported by the server.

The default value is "M/d/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt". When set, the class will format the time returned by the server when calling the QueryFileTime method. To disable all formatting set this to empty string.

Note: This setting only applies when calling QueryFileTime. It does not apply to the FileTime parameter of the DirList event.

IgnoreEntries: Directory entry data to ignore.

Sometimes the FTP server will return data in a directory listing that is not entry data and can be ignored. The IgnoreEntries configuration setting takes a comma-separated list of entries to ignore. Only the beginning of the entries need to be specified and correct case is not required.

MaskSensitive: Masks passwords in logs.

The default value is false. When set to true the class will mask passwords that would otherwise appear in its logs.

ModeZCompressionLevel: Used to specify the level of compression used.

The default value is 7. Valid values are from 0 to 9. A higher value indicates a higher compression level is used. This is only valid when UseModeZ is set to True.

PortRange: Allows the specification of a port range where the class listens for active mode connections.

When set to use active mode (Passive = False), the class uses any available port to listen to incoming connections from the server. You can override this behavior by setting PortRange to a value containing the range of ports the class will be listening to.

The range is provided as start-end, for instance: "1024-" stands for anything higher than 1024, "1024-2048" stands for ports between 1024 and 2048 inclusive, "4000-4010, 50000-50010" stands for ports between 4000 and 4010 or between 50000 and 50010.

PreserveFileTime: Attempts to preserve timestamps when transferring files.

When set to True, the class will try to preserve timestamps when transferring files. The MDTM command is used when downloading, and the MFTM command is used when uploading. The server must support these commands for this to work. False by default.

RealTimeUpload: Enables real time uploading.

When this value is set to "True" the class will upload the data in the file specified by LocalFile and continue monitoring LocalFile for additional data to upload until no new data is found for RealTimeUploadAgeLimit seconds. This allows you to start uploading a file immediately after the file is created and continue uploading as data is written to the file. The default value is "False".

RealTimeUploadAgeLimit: The age limit in seconds when using RealTimeUpload.

This value is only applicable when RealTimeUpload is set to "True". This specifies the number of seconds for which the class will monitor LocalFile for new data to upload. If this limit is reached and no new data is found in LocalFile the upload will complete. The default value is "1".

ReusePISSLSessionInDI: Whether the PI SSL session will be reused for the DI connection.

When set to True (default), the class will reuse the PI SSL session when creating the DI connection. When set to False, the class will create a separate SSL session for the DI connection. The default value is True.

ReuseSSLSessionInDI: Whether the SSL session will be reused for the DI connection.

When set to True (default), the class will ask the server to reuse the existing DI SSL session. When set to False, a new SSL session will always be created for the DI connection.

UseClearChannel: Allows for the Clear Command Channel (CCC) command.

When set, the class will send the CCC command to the server requesting a clear (unprotected) command channel.

UseClearDataChannel: Allows for the PROT C command.

When this is set, the class will use a clear (unprotected) data channel by sending the PROT C command to the server.

UseEPSV: Allows extended passive mode.

When set, extended passive mode will be used.

UseMLSD: Uses listings for machine processing.

When this is set to True the class will list files in the directory using the MLSD command. This command is an extension to the protocol which defines a more standardized and reliable directory listing format. Not all servers support this command. The default value is False.

When set to True, set RemoteFile to the filemask and call either ListDirectory or ListDirectoryLong. There is no difference between the two methods when this setting is enabled.

UseMLST: Uses single file listing for machine processing.

This setting is similar to UseMLSD except that it is only valid for a single file. When this is set to True the class will list the file or folder specified by RemoteFile. If RemoteFile is not set, a listing for the current directory itself will be returned. This command is an extension to the protocol which defines a more standardized and reliable directory listing format, but for a single file or folder only. Not all servers support this command. The default value is False.

When set to True, set RemoteFile to the file or folder you wish to get information about and call either ListDirectory or ListDirectoryLong. There is no difference between the two methods when this setting is enabled. When both UseMLSD and UseMLST are set, UseMLSD takes precedence.

UseModeZ: Allows compression to be used when transferring data.

The default value is false. When set to true the class will issue the "MODE Z" command to the FTP server. This will enable deflate compression so all data transferred is first compressed either by the server (when downloading) or by the class (when uploading). Note that not all servers support this feature.

UseOldAUTHSSL: Allows use of the 'AUTH SSL' command instead of 'AUTH TLS'.

By default, the class uses the standard "AUTH TLS" command to initiate the SSL handshake with the server. This configuration setting is included for optional support of older servers which support only the "AUTH SSL". command.

Using "AUTH SSL" instead of "AUTH TLS" is STRONGLY discouraged due to potential security vulnerabilities. If you must use this configuration setting, please do so very carefully.

UseProtWhenImplicit: Sends the PROT P command to the server.

When SSLStartMode is set to sslImplicit, setting this to true will instruct the class to send the PROT P command to the server. This explicitly tells the server that the data channel will be protected. The default value is true.

UseRemoteHostAddressForPassive: Instructs the class to use the address specified by RemoteHost when establishing a data connection.

When this setting is True, the class will use the address specified by RemoteHost when establishing a data connection for directory listings and file transfers. This setting is only applicable when AutoSelectDataIP is set to False.

When this setting if False (default) and AutoSelectDataIP is also False the class will use the IP address returned by the server when establishing a data connection.

This setting is not applicable when Passive is set to False (Active mode).

VirtualHostName: Sends the HOST command to the server.

Defined in RFC 7151, the HOST command allows user-FTP processes to specify which virtual host to connect to for a server-FTP process that is handling requests for multiple virtual hosts on a single IP address. When this config is set, the HOST command is sent to the server prior to authenticating.

IPPort Configuration Settings

ConnectionTimeout: Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection.

When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the class will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

FirewallAutoDetect: Tells the class whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.

This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallHost: Name or IP address of firewall (optional).

If a FirewallHost is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPassword: Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.

If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the class fails with an error.

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPort: The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.

Note that the FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallType: Determines the type of firewall to connect through.

The appropriate values are as follows:


0	No firewall (default setting).
1	Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80.
2	Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.
3	Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.
10	Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallUser: A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall.

If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the class fails with an error.

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

KeepAliveInterval: The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to true. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgement is received from the remote host the keep-alive packet will be re-sent. This setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.

KeepAliveRetryCount: The number of keep-alive packets to be sent before the remotehost is considered disconnected.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to true. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgement is received from the remote host the keep-alive packet will be re-sent. This setting specifies the number of times that the keep-alive packets will be re-sent before the remote host is considered disconnected. The system default if this value is not specified here is 9.

Note: This configuration setting is only available in the Unix platform, and isn't supported in Mac OS or FreeBSD.

KeepAliveTime: The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to true. By default the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.

Linger: When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.

This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.

In the case that Linger is True (default), there are two scenarios for determining how long the connection will linger. The first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP protocol timeout expires.

In the second scenario, LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

LingerTime: Time in seconds to have the connection linger.

LingerTime is the time, in seconds, to leave the socket connection linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP protocol timeout.

LocalHost: The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted.

The LocalHost setting 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.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost setting 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 multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

LocalPort: The port in the local host where the class binds.

This must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.

This; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.

MaxLineLength: The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found.

MaxLineLength is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL string.

If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.

If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.

The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

MaxTransferRate: The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.

This setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default this is not set and there is no limit.

ProxyExceptionsList: A semicolon separated list of hosts and IPs to bypass when using a proxy.

This setting optionally specifies a semicolon separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use. When requests are made to hosts specified in this property the proxy will not be used. For instance:

www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com

TCPKeepAlive: Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled.

If set to true, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

TcpNoDelay: Whether or not to delay when sending packets.

When true, the socket will send all data that is ready to send at once. When false, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.

By default, this config is set to false.

UseIPv6: Whether to use IPv6.

When set to 0 (default), the class will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the class will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the class to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to 2. The default value is 0. Possible values are:


0	IPv4 Only
1	IPv6 Only
2	IPv6 with IPv4 fallback

SSL Configuration Settings

LogSSLPackets: Controls whether SSL packets are logged when using the internal security API.

When the UseInternalSecurityAPI configuration setting is True, this setting controls whether SSL packets should be logged. By default, this setting is False, as it is only useful for debugging purposes.

When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.

Enabling this setting has no effect if UseInternalSecurityAPI is False.

OpenSSLCADir: The path to a directory containing CA certificates.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g. 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1 etc). OpenSSL recommends to use the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

OpenSSLCAFile: Name of the file containing the list of CA's trusted by your application.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

sequences. Before, between, and after the certificates text is allowed which can be used e.g. for descriptions of the certificates. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

OpenSSLCipherList: A string that controls the ciphers to be used by SSL.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".

OpenSSLPrngSeedData: The data to seed the pseudo random number generator (PRNG).

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

By default OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.

ReuseSSLSession: Determines if the SSL session is reused.

If set to true, the class will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:

The target host name is the same.
The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
The application process that calls the function is the same.
The logon session is the same.
The instance of the class is the same.

SSLCACertFilePaths: The paths to CA certificate files on Unix/Linux.

This setting specifies the paths on disk to CA certificate files on Unix/Linux.

The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The class will check for the existence of each file in the order specified. When a file is found the CA certificates within the file will be loaded and used to determine the validity of server certificates.

The default value is:

/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem

SSLCACerts: A newline separated list of CA certificate to use during SSL client authentication.

This setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included in the request when performing SSL client authentication. Some servers require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented when performing SSL client authentication. The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w

..
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

SSLCipherStrength: The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.

This minimum cipher strength largely dependent on the security modules installed on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported, an error will be returned when connections are initiated.

Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.

Use this setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList config setting.

SSLEnabledCipherSuites: The cipher suite to be used in an SSL negotiation.

The enabled cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").

The special value "*" means that the class will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.

Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.

Example values when UseInternalSecurityAPI is False (default): obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256;CALG_3DES"); Possible values when UseInternalSecurityAPI is False (default) include:

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols) only the following cipher suites are supported:

TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.

SSLEnabledProtocols: Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 4032). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:


TLS1.3	12288 (Hex 3000)
TLS1.2	3072 (Hex C00) (Default)
TLS1.1	768 (Hex 300) (Default)
TLS1	192 (Hex C0) (Default)
SSL3	48 (Hex 30)
SSL2	12 (Hex 0C)

When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList setting.

Note: TLS 1.1 and TLS1.2 support are only available starting with Windows 7.

Note: Enabling TLS 1.3 will automatically set UseInternalSecurityAPI to True.

SSLEnableRenegotiation: Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.

This setting specifies whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension will be used in the request when using the internal security API. This setting is true by default, but can be set to false to disable the extension.

This setting is only applicable when UseInternalSecurityAPI is set to true.

SSLIncludeCertChain: Whether the entire certificate chain is included in the SSLServerAuthentication event.

This setting specifies whether the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event contains the full certificate chain. By default this value is False and only the leaf certificate will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event.

If set to True all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.

SSLKeyLogFile: The location of a file where per-session secrets are written for debugging purposes.

This setting optionally specifies the full path to a file on disk where per-session secrets are stored for debugging purposes.

When set, the class will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffice for debugging purposes. When writing to this file the class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.

Note: This setting is only applicable when UseInternalSecurityAPI is set to True.

SSLNegotiatedCipher: Returns the negotiated ciphersuite.

Returns the ciphersuite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g. IPDaemon) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength: Returns the negotiated ciphersuite strength.

Returns the strength of the ciphersuite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g. IPDaemon) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite: Returns the negotiated ciphersuite.

Returns the ciphersuite negotiated during the SSL handshake represented as a single string.

Note: For server components (e.g. IPDaemon) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange: Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm.

Returns the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g. IPDaemon) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength: Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm strength.

Returns the strenghth of the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g. IPDaemon) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength[connId]");

SSLNegotiatedProtocol: Returns the negotiated protocol version.

Returns the protocol version negotiated during the SSL handshake.

Note: For server components (e.g. IPDaemon) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example: server.Config("SSLNegotiatedProtocol[connId]");

SSLProvider: The name of the security provider to use.

Change this setting to use security providers other than the system default.

Use this setting with caution. Disabling SSL security or pointing to the wrong provider could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

The special value "*" (default) picks the default SSL provider defined in the system.

Note: On Windows systems, the default SSL Provider is "Microsoft Unified Security Protocol Provider" and cannot be changed .

SSLSecurityFlags: Flags that control certificate verification.

The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be or-ed together to exclude multiple conditions:


0x00000001	Ignore time validity status of certificate.
0x00000002	Ignore time validity status of CTL.
0x00000004	Ignore non-nested certificate times.
0x00000010	Allow unknown Certificate Authority.
0x00000020	Ignore wrong certificate usage.
0x00000100	Ignore unknown certificate revocation status.
0x00000200	Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status.
0x00000400	Ignore unknown Certificate Authority revocation status.
0x00000800	Ignore unknown Root revocation status.
0x00008000	Allow test Root certificate.
0x00004000	Trust test Root certificate.
0x80000000	Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN not-matching server name).

This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.

SSLServerCACerts: A newline separated list of CA certificate to use during SSL server certificate validation.

This setting optionally specifies one or more CA certificates to be used when verifying the server certificate. When verifying the server's certificate the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the server's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This setting should only be set if the server's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
\r \n
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

..
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

TLS12SignatureAlgorithms: Defines the allowed TLS 1.2 signature algorithms when UseInternalSecurityAPI is True.

This setting specifies the allowed server certificate signature algorithms when UseInternalSecurityAPI is True and SSLEnabledProtocols is set to allow TLS 1.2.

When specified the class will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported the class fails with an error.

The format of this value is a comma separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance: IPPort.Config("UseInternalSecurityAPI=true"); IPPort.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2 IPPort.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa"); The default value for this setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.

In order to not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.

TLS12SupportedGroups: The supported groups for ECC.

This setting specifies a comma separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.2 for ECC.

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.

When using TLS 1.2 and UseInternalSecurityAPI is set to True, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:

"ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)

TLS13KeyShareGroups: The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.

This setting specifies a comma separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. The groups specified here will have key share data pregenerated locally before establishing a connection. This can prevent an additional round trip during the handshake if the group is supported by the server.

The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result only some groups are included by default in this setting.

Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used which is not present in this list it will incur an additional round trip and time to generate the key share for that group.

In most cases this setting does not need to be modified. This should only be modified if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072

The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

"ecdhe_x25519" (default)
"ecdhe_x448"
"ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp521r1"
"ffdhe_2048" (default)
"ffdhe_3072" (default)
"ffdhe_4096"
"ffdhe_6144"
"ffdhe_8192"

TLS13Provider: The TLS 1.3 implementation to be used.

This setting specifies the TLS 1.3 implementation which will be used when TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols. Possible values are:

0 (Internal - Default)
1 (Platform)

The platform provider is only supported on Windows 11 / Windows Server 2022 and up. The default internal provider is available on all platforms and is not restricted to any specific OS version.

If set to 1 (Platform provider) please be aware of the following notes:

The platform provider is only available on Windows 11 / Windows Server 2022 and up.
SSLEnabledCipherSuites and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
If SSLEnabledProtocols includes both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2 the above restrictions are still applicable even if TLS 1.2 is negotiated. Enabling TLS 1.3 with the platform provider changes the implementation used for all TLS versions.

TLS13SignatureAlgorithms: The allowed certificate signature algorithms.

This setting holds a comma separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values are:

"ed25519" (default)
"ed448" (default)
"ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256" (default)
"ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384" (default)
"ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512" (default)
"rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)
"rsa_pkcs1_sha384" (default)
"rsa_pkcs1_sha512" (default)
"rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
"rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
"rsa_pss_sha512" (default)

The default value is rsa_pss_sha256,rsa_pss_sha384,rsa_pss_sha512,rsa_pkcs1_sha256,rsa_pkcs1_sha384,rsa_pkcs1_sha512,ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256,ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384,ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512,ed25519,ed448. This setting is only applicable when SSLEnabledProtocols includes TLS 1.3.

TLS13SupportedGroups: The supported groups for (EC)DHE key exchange.

This setting specifies a comma separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. This setting should only be modified if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192

The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

"ecdhe_x25519" (default)
"ecdhe_x448" (default)
"ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
"ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
"ffdhe_2048" (default)
"ffdhe_3072" (default)
"ffdhe_4096" (default)
"ffdhe_6144" (default)
"ffdhe_8192" (default)

Socket Configuration Settings

AbsoluteTimeout: Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.

FirewallData: Used to send extra data to the firewall.

When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g. headers for custom authentication schemes).

InBufferSize: The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. Increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

OutBufferSize: The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. Increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Base Configuration Settings

BuildInfo: Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).

ProcessIdleEvents: Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.

If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

SelectWaitMillis: The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.

If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

UseInternalSecurityAPI: Tells the class whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

By default the class will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. Setting this to True tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system's security API.

Trappable Errors (FTP Class)

Error Handling (C++)

Call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain the last called method's result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Properties

CanRead	Whether the stream supports reading. bool CanRead() { return true; }
CanSeek	Whether the stream supports seeking. bool CanSeek() { return true; }
CanWrite	Whether the stream supports writing. bool CanWrite() { return true; }
Length	Gets the length of the stream, in bytes. int64 GetLength() = 0;
Methods

Close	Closes the stream, releasing all resources currently allocated for it. void Close() {} This method is called automatically when an IPWorksStream object is deleted.
Flush	Forces all data held by the stream's buffers to be written out to storage. int Flush() { return 0; } Must return `0` if flushing is successful; or `-1` if an error occurs or the stream is closed. If the stream does not support writing, this method must do nothing and return `0`.
Read	Reads a sequence of bytes from the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes read. int Read(void* buffer, int count) = 0; `Buffer` specifies the buffer to populate with data from the stream. `Count` specifies the number of bytes that should be read from the stream. Must return the total number of bytes read into `Buffer`; this may be less than `Count` if that many bytes are not currently available, or `0` if the end of the stream has been reached. Must return `-1` if an error occurs, if reading is not supported, or if the stream is closed.
Seek	Sets the current position within the stream based on a particular point of origin. int64 Seek(int64 offset, int seekOrigin) = 0; `Offset` specifies the offset in the stream to seek to, relative to `SeekOrigin`. Valid values for `SeekOrigin` are: `0`: Seek from beginning. `1`: Seek from current position. `2`: Seek from end. Must return the new position within the stream; or `-1` if an error occurs, if seeking is not supported, or if the stream is closed (however, see note below). If `-1` is returned, the current position within the stream must remain unchanged. Note: If the stream is not closed, it must always be possible to call this method with an `Offset` of `0` and a `SeekOrigin` of `1` to obtain the current position within the stream, even if seeking is not otherwise supported.
Write	Writes a sequence of bytes to the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes written. int Write(const void* buffer, int count) = 0; `Buffer` specifies the buffer with data to write to the stream. `Count` specifies the number of bytes that should be written to the stream. Must return the total number of bytes written to the stream; this may be less than `Count` if that many bytes could not be written. Must return `-1` if an error occurs, if writing is not supported, or if the stream is closed.
